Epilepsy In Pediatric Patients

Epilepsy in pediatric patients is a common neurological disorder which requires an in-depth approach in order to accurately diagnose epilepsy and hence initiate the most appropriate anti-epileptic drug (AED). The management of epilepsy and status epilepticus in children can be challenging, requires advanced techniques to further understand the mechanism and pathogenesis of and therefore necessitates the need for the emergence of new anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and novel technologies. This book provides an extensive and comprehensive overview of epilepsy including emergency status epilepticus in the pediatric population from basic to most recent updated classification of epilepsy, advanced diagnostic technologies and future management of intractable epilepsy in pediatric patients.
