Fully revised and updated, this second edition of the second volume of the Atlases of electroencephalography series includes more than 2/3 new high-quality digital figures. A new Classification approach to epileptic seizures and to the epilepsies became official in 2017. Several aspects in terms of terminology have been included in this book and most of the chapters have been rewritten.

The second volume of this series on the practical use and interpretation of EEG focuses on epilepsies in their diversity. It is richly illustrated, and each EEG plate is analyzed in order to highlight the most significant elements to be used both for the diagnosis and interpretation. The originality of this textbook lies in its patient-based approach, thereby avoiding the pitfall of a formal presentation of EEG documents without their clinical context. Hence electroencephalography is placed at the core of the diagnostic and therapeutic discussion concerning patients with epilepsy.

Given the practical orientation of this Atlas, the focus is on common forms of epilepsies; nevertheless, some less common, more intriguing forms have also been illustrated. A synthetic text summarizes the present approach to the main epilepsy categories.

This Atlas is designed for all the actors who may be involved with patients with epilepsy. Physicians who deal with EEG will find it a valuable tool to improve the education of their early years, to help them with their interpretations later on, and for teaching purposes when more experienced. But it will also prove useful for all the physicians interested in epilepsy, as well as EEG technologists intent on providing quality recordings, and other professionals. Thorough understanding of human epilepsies requires extensive knowledge of their EEG correlates.

Atlas of Electroencephalography - Volume 2, The Epilepsies, EEG and Epileptic Syndromes

Since 1984, the year of the publication of its first edition, the famous "Blue Guide" has been the international reference for paediatricians and neuropaediatricians with regard to epileptic syndromes in infants, children and adolescents.

This 6th edition reviews some of the most noteworthy developments in the field, particularly in epileptic syndromes, but also focuses on the genetic aspects of the syndromes and their development. Progress brought about by advances in neuroimaging is also discussed in addition to specific etiologies such as parasitic diseases and immune and autoimmune diseases.

The different backgrounds of the contributors - coordinators and authors - ensure that the book's longstanding reputation for objectivity and seriousness, built over almost 35 years, remain well-deserved.

This book written by the current leading specialists is recognized worldwide as the international reference in epilepsy.

The 6th edition of this classic volume comes 36 years after the first version (in French). It has widened its scope but is still a tribute and witness to the Marseille School of epileptotogy. It now includes all the modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsies. Advances in imaging and genetics have not significantly contested the syndromic perspective. In the era of precision medicine, knowledge of epilepsy syndromes still ensures the best possible, most accurate diagnosis and management. Both the young and the experienced international readers will find here an update on all the classical epilepsy syndromes they grew up with.

L'épileptologie change, et les approches syndromiques sont maintenant complétées par une approche étiologique fondée sur les progrès considérables en génétique. Une approche purement "électro-clinique" n'est plus adaptée aujourd'hui dans bien des cas.

Cette 5e édition du "Guide bleu" fait le point sur les plus récents progrès. Ainsi, la structure du livre a un peu évolué, laissant plus de place aux approches :

- 

physiologiques

- 

épidémiologiques

- 

génétiques

- 

thérapeutique

Néanmoins, la description des syndromes épileptiques reste au coeur de cet ouvrage.

La diversité des contributeurs - coordinateurs et auteurs - confère à ce livre des qualités d'objectivité et de sérieux qui en font la réputation depuis maintenant près de 30 ans.

La 4ème édition de l'ouvrage les syndromes épileptiques de l'enfant et de l'adolescent est basée sur l'approche syndromique des épilepsies, marque distinctive de l'Ecole de Marseille et de l'épileptologie européenne. Faisant intervenir les plus grands spécialistes de l'épilepsie, cette 4ème version est totalement mise à jour et, point fort, enrichie cette année d'un CD-Rom des séquences vidéos des différents syndromes décrits dans l'ouvrage.
