Reviews
'This is a wonderful textbook that systematically covers a complex and challenging subset of epilepsy patients. The novelty lies in the fact that there are few textbooks that offer such a comprehensive review - medication resistant epilepsy is often relegated to a single chapter in other comparable textbooks in epilepsy. The book excels in introducing the topic of medication resistant epilepsy (including a functional definition) and offering a detailed review of treatments available.' Mahnoor Rehman, Doody's Book Review Service
