Stereotaxy and Epilepsy Surgery

At the beginning of the 1950's the meeting of Jean Bancaud and Jean Talairach represented a turning point in epilepsy surgery. Their idea was to accurately record the electrical activity of different brain structures during the course of a seizure. Soon the term of stereoelectro-encephalography was adopted for this new method. New concepts arised followed by new types of surgery techniques neuroimaging tools and stereotactic procedures.Stereotaxy and Epilepsy surgery written by Jean-Marie Scarabin and a number of recognized experts in the field presents its most recent advances always respecting Sainte-Anne school's spirit and especially the value of clinical semio-logy and its integration through anatomo-electroclinical correlations. Its extremely precise descriptions of the methodologies and its rich contents of figures and plates including a particularly interesting DVD with videos and 51 clinical cases certainly make this book a reference in the domain of epilepsy surgery.
