For neurologists and other physicians who encounter neurologic disorders, a practical reference on the advances in understanding the various forms of epilepsy since the first volume was published a decade ago. Among the innovations are magnetic resonance imaging as a nearly routine diagnostic evaluation of difficult cases, a series of new anti-epileptic drugs, and a continuing expansion of knowledge about the basic mechanisms involved. Other topics include the new genetics, partial epilepsy syndrome in adults, benign and malignant syndromes of childhood epilepsy, non-epileptic seizures, pregnancy, and specialized care centers. The series is renamed from the BIMR Neurology series, itself a successor to the Modern Trends in Neurology series. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
