PPT-The 2017 ILAE Classification of Seizures

Robert S Fisher MD PhD Maslah Saul MD Professor of Neurology Director Stanford Epilepsy Center In 2017 the ILAE released a new classification of seizure types largely based upon the existing classification formulated in 1981 Primary differences include specific listing of certain new focal seizure types that may previously only have been in the generalized category use of awareness as a surrogate for consciousness emphasis on classifying focal seizures by the first clinical manifestation except for altered awareness a few new generalized seizure types ability to classify some seizures when onset is unknown and renaming of certain terms to improve clarity of meaning.
