Atlas of EEG, Seizure Semiology, and Management

is a comprehensive yet concise textbook with a focus on practical use

of EEG and clinical neurology in the diagnosis and management of

epilepsy. It begins with the physiological foundation of EEG, physics

and electronics of EEG generation and
recording, and technical

details of EEG performance. Major sections then discuss seizure and

epilepsy diagnoses, normal and abnormal EEG patterns correlated with

clinical scenarios, guides to differential diagnosis of seizures, guides

to medical and nonmedical management, and lastly teaching case
studies.

For this edition, there is a separate pediatric EEG and epilepsy

section, in addition to discussion of pediatric aspects throughout the

rest of the text. Revisions and additions have been made to keep up with

the rapid pace of advancement in EEG and epilepsy.

This new

third edition is authored and edited by four senior faculty of

Vanderbilt University Hospital and Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, all

trained and board certified in EEG and Clinical Neurophysiology. These

experts use their daily experience treating epilepsy in a busy academic

medical center
to provide a robust core of EEG and epilepsy knowledge

to healthcare professionals who diagnose and manage epilepsy, and who

are seeking to develop and enhance their knowledge of EEG performance

and interpretation.

New in this edition:
· Compares the new epilepsy classification schemes with the old
· Updated status epilepticus management, with new tables and flowcharts
· New interpretations for a variety of EEG patterns, some of which have controversial implications
