Epilepsy Case Studies

Zusatztext

<p>This book presents a case based approach to epilepsy management in both diagnostic challenges and treatment of complex cases. Cases reflect real life patient scenarios that practitioners encounter with up-to-date terminology and treatment approaches.</p><p>With 51 chapters, the book presents 51 unique, nuanced cases. Beginning with an initial presentation of a case history, the book opens with a basis for drawing in multiple aspects in the treatment of patients with epilepsy. Each chapter is organized into a clinical history, physical examination results, and ancillary testing to concentrate on differential diagnosis and focus on a definitive procedural approach to the final diagnosis. Subsequent information about the condition expands on the knowledge of the clinical features to a solution of common patient clinical scenarios as it affects people with epilepsy.</p><p>A comprehensive successor edition,<i>Epilepsy Case Studies</i> is an invaluable resource to clinicians ranging from those looking for a quick review of a topic present in the table of contents, to those crossing disciplines into medical areas where seizures are a symptom of disordered or dysfunctional brain.</p>
