Description of  Surgical Neuropathology of Focal Epilepsies: Textbook & Atlas

All three authors reviewed their professional experience in surgical and post-mortem neuropathological studies to compile a coherent summary of: - clinico-pathological findings - current classification schemes - useful protocols - research data for major histopathological entities of brain lesions encountered in modern epilepsy surgery programmes, which are hippocampal sclerosis, brain tumours associated with early onset epilepsy, malformations of cortical development, brain inflammation and malformative vascular lesions. This atlas includes 32 illustrated cases compiled of macroscopic and microscopic images together with a summary of clinical data and magnetic resonance imaging findings that are representative for those brain lesions most commonly observed in epilepsy surgery.
