    In 1997, Jean AICARDI, one of the most brilliant child neurologists of 

    our era, commented on How the view has changed in the field of 

    pediatric epilepsy surgery: Surgery for epilepsy has now become a 

    realistic therapeutic option for selected children and the field is 

    likely to increase in the near future. It is now realised that 

    procrastination, in the hope that new antiepileptic drugs will become 

    efficacious, is not justified for some forms of epilepsy that can 

    often be recognised from onset or after a relatively short course. It 

    is also becoming clear that surgery is not reserved for a highly 

    selected population of patients with normal intelligence and focal 

    seizures, but may also help a proportion of more severe epilepsies if 

    a realistic view of the problem and perspectives is taken by the 

    partners.

    Twenty years later, the most obvious and probably still the strongest 

    reasons against epilepsy surgery in children are cultural and 

    psychological. This book, written by members of the ad hoc ILAE Task 

    Force for pediatric epilepsy surgery and experts in the field, is the 

    result of continued collaborative working between pediatric epilepsy 

    surgery centres over the years. Authors critically review all 

    available data and set out the key elements of presurgical evaluation, 

    the specific electro-clinical presentations per etiology, the range of 

    outcomes to be monitored, and the surgical techniques used today.
