Much has been written about the cognitive function of children with epilepsy but despite there being extensive study of the neuropsychological status of adults with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy, it has been more limited in children. Although cognitive development in children is influenced by similar factors to adults, the role of early damage, modification of cerebral organisation and interruption of the learning process are also likely to be important. Devoted to cognitive function and dysfunction in children with temporal lobe epilepsy, this book highlights those domains that demand further research and those for which immediate established techniques for a better global care can be undertaken.
Paediatric Movement Disorders is an exciting field of Child Neurology. In recent years, an important amount of new knowledge has accumulated at an increasing place, both on basic and on clinical aspects of Child Neurology. Highly qualified experts of the corresponding fields wrote chapters of this book that represent the “state-of-the-art” in this excited field of Chiold Neurology and will prove to be a useful tool to both clinicians and scientists.

Practical, easy-to-follow guidance on every aspect of the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in children 350 full-color illustrations Pediatric Epilepsy comprehensively addresses the needs of all physicians treating children with epilepsy – from the specialized pediatric epileptologist to the general pediatric practitioner. Written by a team of international experts, this full-color text offers a consistent, age-based approach to the diagnosis and treatment of every type of seizure and epilepsy syndrome that may occur in childhood. The book’s primary focus is on specific treatment modalities, both surgical and medical. Features Algorithms and drug-dosage tables throughout emphasize patient care Includes first, second, and combination drug treatments with recommended starting ranges and other essential information Specific types of seizures and syndromes are organized by the age group in which they most often present Logically organized by age group, then by the seizures and syndromes that tend to first occur at those ages Co-morbidities section addresses illnesses caused by epilepsy treatment and illnesses that often present with epilepsy treatment International authorship by a team of five award-winning pediatric epileptologists 350 full-color illustrations
Having appeared in the 1930s in Montreal, standardised neuropsychological evaluation has become an essential tool in the clinical diagnosis and evaluation of surgical epileptic patients. Nevertheless, despite great progress over the last 20 to 30 years in the diagnosis and medical treatment of epilepsy, clinical neuropsychology still remains largely associated with surgical epilepsy, particularly surgery of the temporal lobe. Clinical neurology has still not managed to clear a way in the daily practice with patients with all types of epilepsy despite significant advances in cognitive neuroscience and a large number of clinical studies on epilepsy and cognition. How is it that there are only rarely major advances in the field of clinical neuropsychology? It has long been time for this question to be asked, and for an attempt to be made to bring about changes. This was the aim of the Toronto workshop and the result of this book. Every approach was debated, providing important elements to reflect on and allowing a great forum for exchanges. This book includes the communications from the main participants and comments from some others on specific subjects.

Les produits à base de cannabis dans le traitement de diverses maladies, y compris l’épilepsie, connaissent un essor grandissant, et intéressent de plus en plus les scientifiques. Un grand nombre d’études a été publiée les 15 dernières années, démontrant l’efficacité de ces produits dans le contrôle d’un large spectre d’épisode épileptiques, en particulier ceux observés dans les cas graves d’épilepsie pédiatrique, comme les syndromes Lennox-Gastaut et Dravet. Ce livre, rédigé par des spécialistes du domaine, présente des analyses critiques des données récentes issues d’essais cliniques. Les auteurs et autrices évoquent des sujets comme la pharmacologie, les interactions entre drogues, leur efficacité, effets secondaires potentiels et effets à long-terme sur le développement et le comportement. Les neurologues et tous les cliniciens ayant des patients épileptiques trouveront des informations utiles concernant les meilleures pratiques. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There has been growing interest in the use of cannabis-based products for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including epilepsy. A number of studies were published during the last 5 years demonstrating efficacy of purified CBD for the control of a large spectrum of seizure-types, particularly those observed in severe childhood epilepsies, such as Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes. This book, co-authored by leaders in the field of epileptology, critically reviews recent data from clinical trials. Authors discuss issues related to pharmacology, drug interactions, efficacy, potential adverse events and long-term effects on development and behaviour. Child and adult neurologists and all clinicians contributing to epilepsy care will find useful information on the best practices, when using purified CBD for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsies.
