Abstract

The epilepsies are the commonest of serious disorders of brain function. Medical, psychological, social and financial implications can adversely affect quality of life in both patient and family. Accurate categorization of seizure type and epilepsy syndrome, with appropriate choice of drug and other management, can minimize the burden of a seizure disorder.
