The role of EEG in the diagnosis and classification of the epilepsy syndromes

This book, written by international experts in clinical epileptology and EEG,
comprehensively covers the clinical and EEG features of all paediatric and
adult epilepsy syndromes, as recognized by the ILAE. Each syndrome-chapter
provides detailed description of the associated seizure types and the
characteristic interictal findings in wakefulness and sleep, illustrated by a
plethora of EEG plates. It also includes recording protocols that, adapted to
available resources and complete with practical information to improve
recording strategies, are designed to maximize diagnostic yield. Finally, the
diagnostic confidence of the EEG report is rated according to the findings in
hand and the available clinical information. A fully informative, but concise
and easy-to-use, companion in the daily clinical practice for
electroencephalographers and EEG technologists, but also a reference guide for
epileptologists and general neurologists who care for children and adults with
epilepsy.
