About this book
This book provides a comprehensive, rigorous review of the long-term outcome literature in epilepsy surgery in both adults and children. Each chapter examines the long-term outcome literature in a separate domain; covering seizure control, social, vocational/educational and psychiatric outcomes. Behavior and cognition are also discussed. The clinical predictors of good and bad outcomes in each domain are described and the gaps in current knowledge are highlighted. Separate chapters examine the methodological challenges associated with long-term outcome studies and the special considerations associated with informed consent in this population.
Long-Term Outcomes of Epilepsy Surgery in Adults and Children is essential reading for all members of multidisciplinary epilepsy surgery teams, including neurosurgeons, neurologists and neuropsychologists; it will enable these teams to counsel patients and parents who are considering epilepsy surgery as a therapeutic option.
Reviews
“This is an outstanding and unique book on epilepsy surgery outcomes and longterm prognosis for refractory epilepsy, analyzing both drug treatment and surgical treatment. … I recommend this book to epileptologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and research professionals with an interest in Epilepsy Research. It is a welcome addition to any medical library.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, May, 2015)
