Description
Oxford Textbook of Epilepsy and Epileptic Seizures (Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology) is a comprehensive and evidence-based guide to one of the most common and complex neurological disorders affecting both children and adults. Addressing the wide-ranging causes, diverse seizure types, and variable prognosis of epilepsy, the textbook explores not only medical management but also the significant mortality, morbidity, social, and legal implications associated with the condition.
As part of the prestigious Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology (OTCN) series, this volume covers the scientific foundations, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of epilepsy and epileptic seizures in depth. Each chapter is authored by internationally recognised specialists who combine rigorous analysis of the current evidence base with insights drawn from extensive clinical experience.
The print edition is complemented by a fully integrated online version, providing access to the complete textbook content. The digital platform enables full-text searching, direct links from references to primary research journal articles, and downloadable figures and tables suitable for teaching and presentations in PowerPoint®.
Designed as a clinical reference for neurologists and senior trainees, an educational resource for trainees, and a practical guide for all physicians advising people with epilepsy, Oxford Textbook of Epilepsy and Epileptic Seizures is an indispensable tool for improving epilepsy care and clinical decision-making.
