 750 EEG tracings provide the visual assistance you need to diagnose pediatric seizure activity 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "The dearth of EEG atlases created solely for pediatrics make this work a welcome contribution to the field....I will certainly add this book to my EEG laboratory's library. It will serve as a quick and ready resource to confirm unusual EEG patterns. The DVD itself is a treasure to instruct students, residents, fellows, and epilepsy monitoring unit nurses in the recognition of seizure and nonepileptic semiologies."--Doody's Review Service "This multimediawork provides an accessible, comprehensive, andtimely tool for the child neurologist or epileptologistin training or in practice to become familiar with theextraordinary richness of the clinical and electrographicmanifestations of childhood epilepsy. The text represents the distillation of an extraordinary body of clinical experience and painstaking attention to detail, which is characteristic of Dr. Laoprasert....Whether read cover-to-cover, used to reviewspecific problems, or dipped into at random, this textmakes learning about epilepsy in children a pleasureand will ultimately enhance the quality of their livesand those of their families."--Marc C.
