The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) recently revised its classification of seizures. The change will help make diagnosing and classifying seizures more accurate and easier. In the coming weeks, epilepsy.com will be updated to reflect the new classification to help users searching for both the older and newer terms.
The basic classification is a simple version of the major categories of seizures. The new basic seizure classification is based on 3 key features.
- Where seizures begin in the brain
- Level of awareness during a seizure
- Other features of seizures
