This really is an
excellent introduction for Neurology trainees who are looking for a guide to the
management of patients with epilepsy. It uses a "Problem based" approach, with
typical clinical scenarios, and then discuses the options, and approaches to
management.
What I liked was it's down to earth pragmatic style.It is not a
reference book, and doen't pretend to be, but it does teach you how to look
after patients. I have lent it to some of my trainees to read, their comments
are that it tells them things that they won't find in other textbooks, and it
gives them confidence in the clinic.
My one criticism is that the appendicies
are too long, and not that relevent for the European reader.
