This book provides essential information about the variety of
seizure disorders to serve as a basic epilepsy reference guide for
students and practicing clinical neuropsychologists. In addition to
epilepsy neuropsychological assessment issues, the book provides an
overview of the known cognitive effects of seizures as well as the
adaptive, emotional, and psychiatric consequences of epilepsy
including a chapter on psychogenic nonepileptic seizures.
Diagnostic tests, such as EEG and structural neuroimaging, are
described and the leading treatment options are detailed with a
chapter on pharmacologic therapies which reviews the known
cognitive and behaivoral side effects of specific antiepileptic
drugs. Many of the more rare epilepsy disorders have been included
in the appendices for quick and easy reference. The book also
details the role of neuropsychology within the epilepsy surgery
process including pre/post surgery cognitive evaluations, cortical
stimulation mapping, functional neuroimaging, and intracarotid
amobarbital (Wada) procedures and reviews the major surgical
treatment options used in the intractable epilepsies. Case examples
are dispersed throughout the text with neuropsychological results
as heuristic aids. The book ends with a glossary of epilepsy terms
that may be used as a dictionary for the more experienced clinician
or as a tool to assist students and residents in learning.
