Atlas of Epilepsies is a landmark, all-encompassing, illustrated reference work and a hands-on guide to the diagnosis, management and treatment of epilepsy in all its forms and across age groups.
Designed to be the premier text in the field, the Atlas’s highly illustrative approach tackles the difficult subject of epileptic seizures and epileptic syndromes, accompanied by sequential photographs of each management step.
Explanatory schematic line diagrams complementing intraoperative photographs are provided for a fuller understanding of processes and procedures enhancing reader and end-user experience.
The Atlas draws on the expertise of over 300 internationally-renowned experts, and is liberally interspersed with clinical insights and personal vignettes that offer helpful tips, technical advice and critical knowledge to the scholar and clinician.There is currently no publication in the market that addresses epilepsies as thoroughly and exhaustively as the Atlas of Epilepsies.
