Treatment in epilepsy has changed in the last couple of years due to modern drugs and surgery. This collection presents the state-of-the-art in epilepsy surgery and future aspects in the treatment. The options of surgery and radiosurgery are shown together with their results. The topics are leading from Gamma Knife surgery to the options and results of common radiosurgical diagnosis for treatment with the Leksell Gamma Knife and the possibilities and results of the use of the latter.
