Epilepsy is the second in a series developed under the auspices of the World

Federation of Neurology to meet the needs of neurologists who must practice

medicine without many of the advantages that are often taken for granted in the

industrialized world. It is targeted to neurologists practicing in low-resource

environments and those who wish to practice cost-effective neurology, and

addresses issues important for neurologists in developing countries that are not

covered in standard textbooks. The series will update the reader in currently

accepted diagnostic and management practice. Material is presented in a

user-friendly, interactive manner, with abundant case material.
Epilepsy is one of the most common serious primary brain disorders, affecting

forty million people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization,

epilepsy accounts for 1% of the Global Burden of Disease, equivalent to lung

cancer in men and to breast cancer in women. It is not surprising, therefore,

that ten to twenty texts on epilepsy are published annually. These texts contain

the very latest information on diagnosis and treatment of various aspects of

epilepsy; however, approximately 80% of people with epilepsy in the world live

in developing countries, where modern diagnostic and treatment approaches do not

exist. Upwards of 90% of people with epilepsy in these areas receive no

treatment at all. This is the first text to address the issues faced by

neurologists who must deliver care with limited resources, often in a setting of

tropical diseases and malnutrition, that characterize practice in developing

countries.
