EEG in childhood epilepsy

Meer over het boek

EEG often plays a less important role in the differential diagnosis of cerebral seizure disorders than it used to do. Imaging procedures have come to overshadow it completely in many cases. In view of the current literature on the EEG in epilepsy, this shift in diagnostic priorities may be partly justified, at least as far as adults are concerned. But on no account does this apply to childhood epilepsy. This volume provides a critical review of the pertinent literature and shows quite clearly that very little attention is paid to major topic in this field.
