Begins with the practical bedside questions: Is it truly a seizure? Provoked or unprovoked? Focal or generalized? Does the child need an EEG, MRI, treatment or referral?
Covers the full course of care, from first-seizure evaluation and seizure mimics to electroclinical syndromes, rational antiseizure medication selection, status epilepticus, drug-resistant epilepsy and safe treatment withdrawal.
One authentic clinical case at the end of every chapter under Clinical Pitfalls and Practice Pearls.
Clinical algorithms, practical tables, pitfalls and pearls, red flags, and EEG and neuroimaging guidance for quick use during practice.
Emergency protocols, parent-counseling messages and clinic-ready appendices.
Aligned with contemporary ILAE concepts while deliberately avoiding unnecessary complexity.
27 chapters organized in eight parts, from foundations of pediatric epilepsy to long-term care.
