About the Book

"Intractable Focal Epilepsy" is a definitive multi author reference work covering the most difficult to treat epilepsies. The natural history, pathology and treatment, both medical and surgical, of the conditions underlying intractable seizures are fully described and illustrated. Including contributions from North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim, the emphasis throughout is on clinical diagnosis and treatment both medical and surgical, and their respective outcomes. The text is enhanced by over 250 illustrations, and the clear modern design enables the reader to assimilate information quickly. In addition to clinical treatment, there is a section on the costs of persistent intractable focal epilepsy and the costs of surgical treatment. Drs Oxbury, Polkey and Duchowny have produced a book that will appeal to epileptologists, paediatric neurologists, and neurosurgeons. The books clinical strengths will make it an invaluable working tool.

Review :
"Every neurologist or neurosurgeon contemplating developing an epilepsy surgery service, should place a copy of this book within reach of the whole team."Brain, January 2001 reading the book to pursue the possibility of developing an epilepsy surgery programme will find their enthusiasm fired and the vital features of the process clearly signposted. Any neurology department with ambitions to develop a wider ranging epilepsy service, many established epilepsy departmens and every neurologist or neurosurgeon contemplating developing an epilepsy surgery service, should plave a copy of this book within reach of the whole team." Review by Mark Richardson will become and invaluable reference on the shelves of epileptologists around the world..it will also prive useful to many others in both medicine and subjects allied to medicine who are involved in treating patients with epilepsies."
