Textbook of Epilepsy Surgery covers all of the latest advances in the surgical management of epilepsy. The book provides a better understanding of epileptogenic mechanisms in etiologically different types of epilepsy and explains neuronavigation systems. It discusses new neuroimaging techniques, new surgical strategies, and more aggressive surgical approaches in cases with catastrophic epilepsies. The contributors also analyze the improved statistics of surgical outcome in different epilepsy types. This definitive textbook is an invaluable reference for neurologists, neurosurgeons, epilepsy specialists, and those interested in epilepsy and its surgical treatment.
The thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of this landmark work is the most comprehensive and current reference on the surgical treatment of the epilepsies. More than 100 invited experts from around the world present a global view of contemporary approaches to presurgical evaluation, surgical treatment, and postsurgical assessment. This edition provides detailed information on the vital role of structural and functional neuroimaging in presurgical evaluation and surgical planning. Noted experts offer up-to-date patient selection guidelines and explain current concepts of intractability. The book details the most effective surgical techniques, presents extensive data on surgical outcome, and discusses strategies for preventing and managing complications. More than 500 illustrations complement the text. An appendix section includes protocols and outcome statistics from over 50 leading epilepsy surgery centers.
This new text presents a systematic and comprehensive overview of the clinical semiology of epileptic seizures. With discussions on experimental and clinical pathophysiology of epileptic seizures, and a specific concentration on clinical ictal symptoms. Also includes excellent visual examples of typical examples and new classifications of seizure types.
This new atlas classifies EEG tracings in epileptic patients and correlates them with clinical features, etiology, and a specific diagnosis of the type of seizure. Color line diagrams pinpoint the localization of the disordered brain waves.
Two of the world's leading authorities make EEG interpretation easier with this new atlas. EEG tracings are classified and correlated with relevant clinical information * and each tracing is defined by localization and polarity. Based on the EEG classification system used by the Cleveland Clinic.
Deep brain stimulation has been used effectively for many years to treat patients suffering from Parkinson's disease. Now, neurologists and neurosurgeons are using electric pulse generators to block abnormal activity, i.e. epileptic fits. Promising research results indicate that electric pulses implanted deep in the brain can affect neurocircuitry and help stop oncoming seizures. Supplying a solid background on brain stimulation and its application to epilepsy, Deep Brain Stimulation and Epilepsy provides a historical overview, explores pathogenesis of brain stimulation, discusses animal experiments and human studies, and explores future prospects of brain stimulation for epileptic control. The editor and his team of contributors distill information drawn directly from the literature into one convenient resource.
Leading authorities in the field present a comprehensive, clinically focused text on all major aspects of electrodiagnosis in neurology. Serves as a practical daily resource for the clinician as well as an excellent study tool for board preparation in neurology and subspecialty status in neurophysiology. Topics in this generously illustrated text include basic neurophysiology, electromyography, autonomic testing, electroencephalography, evoked potentials and much more!
Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology (OTCN) series, this volume covers the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of epilepsy and epileptic seizures, and is complemented by an online edition.
A unique review of the essential topographical anatomy of the brain from an MRI perspective, correlating high-quality anatomical plates with high-resolution MRI images. The book includes a historical review of brain mapping and an analysis of the essential reference planes used. It provides a detailed review of the sulcal and the gyral anatomy of the human cortex, guiding readers through an interpretation of the individual brain atlas provided by high-resolution MRI. The relationship between brain structure and function is approached in a topographical fashion with an analysis of the necessary imaging methodology and displayed anatomy. An extensive coronal atlas rounds off the book.
Invasive Studies of the Human Epileptic Brain is the definitive reference text on the use of invasive electroencephalographic (EEG) diagnostic studies in human epilepsy.
