Fully updated and revised, the 3rd edition of the Atlas of Electroencephalography volume 1: Awake and Sleep EEG, activation procedures and artifacts retains the format and presentation that made the previous editions successful.

It is the most comprehensive EEG atlas on activation procedures, artifacts and normal EEG, covering the full spectrum of normal and unusual patterns observed during wakefulness and sleep, in children and adults. It will significantly help the visual analysis of EEG by neurologists and other specialists as well as technologists.

Electroencephalograms are shown in their native format, exactly as they appear in daily practice. Each plate is analyzed, in order to highlight the most significant elements to be used in diagnosis and interpretation. This 3rd edition includes a total of 180 EEG plates.

Philippe Gélisse and Arielle Crespel are neurologists running the Epilepsy Unit at the Montpellier University Hospital, in France. Both have extensive national and international experience in teaching about EEG and they have written numerous scientific publications in the field.

Atlas of Electroencephalography - Volume 1, Awake and Sleep EEG - Activation procedures and artifacts

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

Atlas of electroencephalography v.1 ; awake and sleep EEG (3e édition)

Le syndrome de Lennox-Gastaut est une des formes les plus sévères, mais aussi des plus " classiques ", des encéphalopathies épileptiques de l'enfant.
Son traitement reste difficile malgré l'apparition de nouvelles thérapeutiques anti-épileptiques, et l'accompagnement éducatif et social pose bien des problèmes à tous les stades et âges de cette pathologie. Dans un premier temps, les limites, critères et caractéristiques du syndrome de Lennox-Gastaut sont rappelés. Puis le point est fait sur les connaissances actuelles des bases physiopathologiques.
Enfin, à la lumière des récents progrès (disponibilité de nouvelles molécules, mise au point de stratégies thérapeutiques particulières et apparition de traitements non pharmacologiques), les conceptions thérapeutiques sont actualisées. Cette monographie s'inscrit dans une nouvelle série de mises au point synthétiques et abordables, à destination des cliniciens comme des chercheurs.

Le syndrome de Lennox-Gastaut

The third volume of the series of Atlases deals with the use and usefulness of electroencephalography (EEG) in neurology. While EEG is universally recognized as a first-order investigation method in epilepsy (see Volume 2), and as an important contributor in sleep medicine, practical neurology has tended to neglect the value of this classical and established neurophysiological tool. A rich, extensively commented and analyzed collection of EEG plates is presented here. The reader will be compelled to remember that EEG is the easiest way to assess parameters like state of vigilance, risk of seizure activity, type and degree of functional impairment, in a very clinical and practical setting. The authors cover many aspects of neurological practices where the EEG may help in diagnosis and treatment : metabolic and other encephalopathies, infectious and inflammatory conditions, vascular disorders. It is particularly useful -and difficult- to distinguish between epileptic phenomena and EEG changes associated with metabolic abnormalities : a careful assessment of the EEG is of paramount practical importance here. Migraine is not always simple and there are many overlaps with other types of neurological diseases : the EEG may play a major part in helping the clinician in doubtful cases. Similarly, the diagnosis of dementia does certainly not rest on the EEG but many particular aspects concerning diagnostic overlaps or copathologies are aptly explored by the EEG. Lastly, even the neurosurgeon may need the EEG to monitor trauma, tumor, bleeding... This Atlas will provide both examples and guidelines for the optimal use of the EEG in neurology.
