This book explores the rapidly changing genetic scene, investigations, findings, and appropriate treatments for reflex epilepsies. Focusing on clinical symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and best therapies available, it highlights the latest findings on the most appropriate work-up of patients with reflex seizures and epilepsies.
