For many years, an inflammatory etiology for seizures was only considered for specific types of epilepsies. Today, there is sufficient evidence to suspect an inflammatory involvement in the majority of seizure disorders. This book presents the most current concepts on inflammation and epilepsy. This information is conveyed by researchers and clinicians who have joined forces to produce a state-of-the-art and balanced view on this topic. The book is relevant for clinicians and scientists involved in the understanding and treatment of epilepsy, but also for those who are interested in alternative therapies such as the ketogenic diet, vagal nerve stimulation, and immunomodulation, not only for seizures with a known inflammatory or infectious cause but for all types of seizures.
