Abstract:
The classification of epileptic seizures is based on clinical seizure types and on ictal and interictal electroencephalographic expressions. The classification of epileptic syndromes is based on the type of seizure and on the suspected aetiology. If the types of seizure of the patients are given, the classification of epileptic syndromes becomes unnecessary. If there is hard evidence on brain pathology, this should be given instead of aetiological speculations.
