AB The  misdiagnosis  of  epilepsy  is  common  in  infancy  and  childhood,1,2,3,4  This  book  is  devoted  to  epilepsy  treatment,  but  if  therapy  is  given  for  epilepsy  that  does  not  exist,  then  the  result  may  be  deleterious  to  the  patient.  This  chapter  outlines  the  conditions  in  neonates,  infants,  and  toddlers  that  may  beguile  the  physician  (and  even  the  surgeon)  into  misdiagnosis.
