"The Doose" stands for clear answers to practical questions in the diagnosis and treatment of young epilepsy patients. The authors follow a straightforward classification of seizure symptomatology and systematically present various types of epilepsy with clinical symptoms, specific electroencephalographic features, and particular course characteristics. The updated new edition takes into account the rapid advancements in pediatric epileptology: the sections on therapy have been adjusted to the latest findings, and new medications have been included. The advantages of the established "Doose" remain: clear action guidelines are conveyed in an understandable and practice-oriented manner, and key statements for each syndrome are summarized clearly. Unique is the educational comparison of MRI and EEG recordings, which is helpful for understanding.
