Özet

In the light of the latest knowledge acquired from clinical and laboratory research dealing with genetic, molecular biology and neuroimaging, existing classifications were successively revised by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) in 2001, 2006, and 2010. In the latest classification established in 2010, proposals articulated radical changes in terms of concepts and definitions of the previously published classifications and put forward new classifications for epileptic seizures, epilepsies and electroclinical syndromes. This review refers to the changes of the new classification with their reasons and criticisms.
