Incorporating available Indian guidelines for epilepsy management, this book collates key evidence and provides clinical tips to manage epilepsy patients in the busy life of practicing clinicians. Though there is abundant literature on epilepsy and different comorbidities the data is scatter and not presented in relation to Indian context. The primary motive of this book is to bridge the gap between evidence and practice and highlight clinical tips and pointers to enhance epilepsy management.

A clinician managing epilepsy does not just manage a single entity but manages the patient as a whole. This book thus, makes an effort to present key evidence and clinical tips for epilepsy management, as it would present in practical situations. Over the seven chapters the book addresses various common clinical situations. The initial chapters provide guidance on epilepsy management across various age groups, i.e., in children and neonates, in adolescents, and in elderly. The chapter on women addresses the most common issues of practical relevance while treating women with epilepsy. There are two chapters highlighting epilepsy management in two key comorbid situations, i.e., HIV and post-trauma, respectively. The final chapter addresses the management of emergency situation of status epilepticus. This book was curated with the help of enthusiast neurologists across the country and we were fortunate to lead this team. The key aspect of this book in our opinion is the “Clinical Pearls” section that provides practical tips and is an attempt to aid busy clinicians translate evidence into practice.

We hope the book serves its goal and provides some reference tips to ease your busy practice and enhance epilepsy management in the country.
