| Summary |
Annotation As many have noted, the?border lands? of epilepsy cover a vast, poorly charted territory. Imitators of Epilepsy serves to increase the awareness of physicians for factors that distinguish epileptic seizures from their imitators, and provides guidance to support clinical judgment in approaching patients with possible seizure disorders. This volume provides a comprehensive review of the differential diagnosis of seizures. Readers will learn how the imitators of epilepsy present clinically, what their distinguishing historical features are, and what tests are helpful with diagnosis. Expanding beyond the first edition, this second edition is divided into four sections: - Investigation, anatomy and epileptic/nonepileptic diagnostic dilemmas - Nonepileptic spells according to age of presentation - Other disorders that resemble epileptic seizures or epilepsy - Psychological, psychiatric and other imitators of epilespy Imitators of Epilepsy is an essential reference for complex cases. |
