Epilepsy in childhood presents a profound challenge Epilepsy is an unsettling, complex condition. There is no ‘one size fits all’ option. For effective treatment a full understanding of each patient’s situation and clinical history is needed. Recent remarkable improvements in our ability to image brain structures, to define physiological patterns and in treatment options has made the task of care of the child with epilepsy potentially more effective. Epilepsy in Children and Adolescents provides the contemporary, caring guidance you need to diagnose and manage seizures in a young patient. Beginning with an overview of the classification of epilepsy syndromes, the experienced authors cover: Diagnostic evaluation of childhood epilepsies Principles of treatment Generalized seizures and generalized epilepsy syndromes Partial onset seizures and localization-related epilepsy syndromes Epilepsies relative to age, etiology or duration The full range of treatment options: medical, dietary, surgical Epilepsy in Children and Adolescents takes a practical approach to a common but complex clinical challenge.

At the time a diagnosis of epilepsy is made for a child, it is highly desirable to predict seizure control and social outcome several months or even years later. Determination of outcome is complex. This book is revolved around three main questions: - What is to be predicted? Is it seizure control, remission with or without ongoing AED treatment, intractability, social outcome or a combination? - What is the purpose of attempting prediction and who will use the information? - How accurate is the prediction? It takes a critical look at what is known about the outcome of childhood epilepsies, specifically evidence-based findings, and further clarifies the direction of clinical and fundamental research for the future.

The aim of this book is to take a critical look at what is known about outcome of childhood epilepsies, specifically evidence-based findings, and further clarify the direction of clinical and fundamental research for the future. At the time a diagnosis of epilepsy is made for a child, it is highly desirable to predict seizure control and social outcome several months or even years later. Determination of outcome is, however, complex and in order to confront this challenge, a number of simple questions should be addressed: What is to be predicted? This may be seizure control, remission with or without ongoing AED treatment, intractability, social outcome, quality of life, or a combination of the above. What is the purpose of attempting to predict outcome and who will use the information? How accurate is the prediction?

More than half the numbers of children with epilepsy have interrelated language, learning and/or behavior complications. By adulthood, these problems can interfere with socialization and employment. The seizures may be controlled but the developmental distortions can continue to present problems for health and education systems and carers. In this comprehensive and fully referenced book, William Svoboda distils a lifetime of clinical experience with childhood epilepsy into three areas which address each of the main areas of difficulty. In each he looks at why the problems arise and assesses diagnostic and remediative approaches. The focus is on the whole care of the child rather than on diagnosis, classification and medication alone. Clinicians, mental health practitioners, educators and speech–language pathologists will find this book invaluable.

Epilepsy impacts everyone in different ways, as well as their families, friends and professional caregivers. This enlightening book presents the firsthand personal accounts of children with seizure disorders and their parents. In their own words, these children and parents vividly describe the experiences of handling the crisis of the initial seizure, adjusting to the diagnosis of epilepsy, coping with seizures, managing medications and side effects, and dealing with health care providers, teachers, schoolmates, siblings, and friends. Their stories reveal the terror, uncertainty, and frustration felt by children an dparents after an initial seizure or a diagnosis of epilepsy and document the ongoing trials, tribulations, and triumphs of coping with seizures, medication schedules and side effects, health care providers and hospitals, schoolmates, siblings, relatives and friends. These accounts provide realistic insights into the myriad issues encountered in living with childhood epilepsy.

Early diagnosis of childhood epilepsy is important and often improves prognosis. Epilepsy starting in infancy or at preschool age may delay the normal development of the child.All children in whom epilepsy is suspected should always be referred urgently to specialist care for further investigations. Diagnosis of epilepsy is based on seizure history, supplemented by EEG recordings and imaging studies. Pharmacological treatment is chosen according to the type of epilepsy or syndrome. Medication that is inappropriate may lead to the aggravation of seizures or other neurological manifestations. The monitoring of the child’s neurocognitive development and the provision of appropriate support are important in the treatment of childhood epilepsies. A part of childhood epilepsies are benign and self-limited. The possibility of epilepsy surgery should be considered when the disease proves to be resistant to treatment.

Sixty percent of the epilepsies start in childhood, and most of the clinically significant and often life-changing aspects of the disease occur at this time. Childhood epilepsy is frequently a complex disorder, demanding integrated medical, educational and community services. Its treatment encompasses acute and disability medicine. The many types or syndromes of childhood epilepsy present both diagnostic and management challenges. Although many children with epilepsy will be referred to specialist units, the majority will initially present to paediatricians and paediatric neurologists. This book provides a practical, problem-oriented manual to help clinicians with diagnosis, evaluation and management. This book addresses epilepsy as an evolving disorder from presentation, through active disease and finally to either spontaneous remission or a chronic lifelong condition. Structured on the child's age at presentation, Childhood Epilepsy offers a practical overview for paediatricians, paediatric neurologists and primary care practitioners who treat children with epilepsy in their daily practice.
