Year: 1989
Type: book-review
Abstract: New to this edition is a chapter on the genetics of epilepsy which provides useful information, though the inclusion of an account of what every schoolboy (or girl) knows about Mendelian inheritance seems inappropriate.Also new is a section on epilepsy and mental handicap by John Corbett.Other chapters deal with the problems of classification, epidemiology, investigations, medical and surgical treatment, neuro- psychiatry, social aspects, and epilepsy in developing countries.A Textbook ofEpilepsy is by far the most comprehensive and up to date account of epilepsy currently available.Every doctor who regularly cares for people with epilepsy should have it available for easy and frequent reference.
