PREVIEW

Seizures and epilepsy pose several questions for the physician. Should preventive therapy be initiated, even if seizures are infrequent? What drugs are appropriate? When should drug therapy be started, and when can withdrawal be attempted? How is prognosis determined? Should surgery be recommended? The authors examine the many issues involved in arriving at the answers.
