The ultimate reference book : the 5th updated edition of the famous “blue guide”.
Incluided : A DVD with new sequences completes each chapter!

The 5th edition of the Blue Guide includes the most recent advances.
It was necessary to justify the physiological, epidemiologic, genetic and therapeutic approaches and to consider them in the light of the new classification efforts, which are still in the making. Nevertheless, the description of epileptic syndromes, both classical and recent, remains at the core of this book.
