A better and more detailed understanding of the diseases related to the brain following decades of advances in neuroimaging, pathology, and neurophysiology have led to new insights into mechanisms leading to epilepsy. Advances in research on epilepsy in one brain disease are known to lead to an improved understanding of epilepsy in others. Advances in neurological care have resulted in patients with stroke, tumors, or infections surviving longer, with ensuing demands for longterm treatment, including epilepsy.
A key message across the different chapters in the book is that epilepsy in other brain diseases should be managed just as ambitiously as any other epilepsy. Neurologists treating patients with brain disease will find this book accessible and practical. It will ensure a deeper understanding of acquired epilepsy amongst clinicians.
Johan Zelano is a newly appointed professor of neurology at the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrensa University Hospital, Sweden. His research group focuses on acquired epilepsies and runs a relatively large research program comprising population-wide studies on epilepsy in stroke, multiple sclerosis, dementia, brain infections, and trauma and clinical studies on epilepsy biomarkers [2-19]. Prof Zelano is a past president of the Swedish Neurological Society and member of the board of the Swedish Epilepsy Society. He has been a speaker on acquired epilepsy at the two last European congresses of epileptology and will speak at the same meeting in Rome in 2024. In 2019, he founded a scientific conference on epilepsy after stroke (Seizures and stroke), which attracted 130 participants to Gothenburg. The conference was digital in 2021 because of Covid, but returned in 2023 with 150 participants from all over Europe. he has been associate editor of the scientific journal Acta Neurologica Scandinavica and frequently review for the major scientific journals in my field. He served on two committees in the international epilepsy organization ILAE.
