Description and Table of Contents
Description
Epilepsy is a condition originating in the brain and is defined as "a sudden, excessive discharge from the gray matter of cerebral cortex." It is one of the most commonly seen conditions in a general neurologist's office. While epilepsy and seizure patients are diagnosed and treated by neurologists, most primary care physicians have epileptic patients that they see for ongoing care. This book will meet the needs of both primary care physicians and neurologists who need to locate information quickly in order to treat epileptic patients.
