The book has been prepared and written for the use of a general practitioner as a help for diagnostic clarification and selection of proper antiepileptic drugs. It is based on the International Concept of Epileptology, particularly regarding the terminology of epileptic seizures and epilepsies including childhood syndromes. Epileptology has evolved into a special discipline within neurology, which is not only advantageous in clinical practice but also essential for adequate management of a person suffering from epilepsy.

The drugs and drug treatments referred to in the book are widely used and have been categorised according to international guidelines. The free CD-Rom contains an EEG Atlas and 42 photo case studies with a short history of patients under different clinical situations.

This book is the result of the author's 35 years clinical experience in neurology and epileptology and will be read by practising and trainee neurologists, psychiatrists and general practitioners worldwide.
