A must read for Pediatric Neurologists A rare find. This book is packed with information gathered by a large number of researchers in the field of epileptology. It shakes off the tired pronouncements laid down by previous generations of neurolgists who were incumbered by the technology of their time. Epilepsy care is an area in which those at the cutting edge are in vastly different territory than the rest of medical practitioners. Those of you looking for info about this topic will find it very satisfying. The care of children with LKS and CSWS and ESES is discussed from many perspectives. Each monograph gives a different insight. Each case study sheds new light on this illness. An illness that does not follow the rules. Reading about these cases one cannot fail to appreciate the complexity of this problem and the need to broaden our knowledge. July 23, 2000
