520 $aIn most patients with epilepsy the prognosis for seizure control is very good. However, despite the introduction of new antiepileptic drugs and excellent monitoring methods, about 25% of patients develop chronic epilepsy which does not respond to treatment.
520 8 $aIntractable epilepsy has a major impact on patients' quality of life and represents a considerable challenge for both the clinician attempting to effect seizure control and the researcher trying to understand why it develops and whether it can be prevented.
520 8 $aThis important new book defines intractable epilepsy, examines its consequences, risks and costs, discusses diagnosis and medical management, including novel drug therapies, neurosurgery and vagal stimulation, and sheds new light on its evolution and aetiology. Intractable Epilepsy is intended for neurologists, paediatricians, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists and other professionals involved in the management, investigation or study of intractable seizures.
