Sommario/riassunto |

Epilepsy is a complicated neurological condition with variable manifestations, numerous etiologies, and a diverse range of treatments. It is a chronic disease that, in many cases, can be controlled. However, treatment requires accurate clinical evaluation to allow intelligent treatment choices. Epilepsy has been designed to help |

clinicians develop these evaluation skills. Expert neurologists have distilled the evidence and combined their experience. |
