Case Studies in Epilepsy - Leonardo Roberts - Bog

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which is characterized by recurrent seizures that are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can affect people of all ages, and the severity of its impact can range from mild to severe. The diagnosis of this disease involves critical examination of medical history, physical examinations, and various diagnostic tests such as electroencephalogram (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and blood tests. The diagnosis helps in determining the type of epilepsy, identify its potential underlying causes, and rule out other conditions that may mimic seizures. It can be managed through antiepileptic medications, which aim to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. Some of the other treatment options are ketogenic diet, vagus nerve stimulation, and epilepsy surgery. This book unravels the recent studies on epilepsy. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
