词条 Epileptologist
释义

  1. Origin of the field

  2. References

An epileptologist is an adult or pediatric neurologist who specializes in the treatment of epilepsy.[1] Epileptologists are experts in epileptic seizures and seizure disorders, anticonvulsants, and special situations involving seizures, such as cases in which all treatment intended to stop seizures has failed and epilepsy (especially poorly controlled epilepsy) in pregnant women.[2][3] Some epileptologists specialize in treatment of epilepsy in children.[4]

An epileptologist is not necessary for the treatment of all seizure disorders, and is generally only consulted if seizures do not stop, despite treatment from a regular physician or neurologist.[5]

Origin of the field

The field of epileptology was first created early in the 20th century. William P. Spratling is identified as the first epileptologist. He is said to have coined the term in 1904.[6]
