Ian Advances In Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a complex disorder that affects people of all ages. Around 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy and nearly 80% of people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries. The diagnosis and management of epilepsy need great care and the selection of antiseizure medication needs to be individualized with the availability of many newer antiseizure drugs. Nearly one third of people with epilepsy do not respond to antiseizure medications; surgery will help to reduce or eliminate seizures in properly selected people with drug-resistant epilepsy. This book IAN Advances in Epilepsy collates state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic developments in the management of epilepsy. We are confident that this compilation will be of immense value to neurologists and physicians dealing with persons with epilepsy.
