Epileptology is a specialization under neurology which deals with the treatment of epilepsy. It is the study of epileptic seizures and seizure disorders, and anticonvulsants. Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders. Recurrent epileptic seizures are the main signs of epilepsy. These are episodes that can vary from long periods of vigorous shaking to short and nearly undetectable periods. They are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Generally, an epileptologist is not required for the treatment of all seizure disorders and is consulted only if the seizures do not stop, even after the treatment from a regular neurologist. Epileptic seizures occur due to excessive and abnormal activity in the brain. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on epileptology have been included in this book. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of this field. This book will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
