    Author: Trost LF, Wender RC, Suter CC, Rosenberg JH, Brixner DI, Von Worley AM, Gunter MJ, National Epilepsy Management Panel.
    Journal: Postgrad Med; 2005 Dec; 118(6):22-6. PubMed ID: 16382762.
    Abstract:
    In this first of two articles on new epilepsy guidelines for primary care physicians, the authors present detailed algorithms for the diagnosis and classification of seizure disorders in adults. They discuss the differentiation between generalized and partial seizures and stress that accurate identification is especially important because the type of seizure determines the appropriate treatment. The second article (page 29) looks at the treatment portion of the new guidelines.
