ILAE definition of the Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy Syndromes: Position statement by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions

Edouard Hirsch et al.

Summary: This paper aims to define the four syndromes comprising the idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) and provides updated diagnostic criteria. For patients who do not meet the criteria for these syndromes but have generalized seizure types, a classification is also provided. Recognizing these syndromes as a special grouping helps determine prognosis and treatment implications.

The article reports the epidemiology, clinical course, seizure types, EEG, neuroimaging, genetics, and differential diagnosis for each syndrome, and presents self-limited syndromes, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, and etiology-specific epilepsy syndromes.

International League Against Epilepsy classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in childhood: Position paper by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions

Nicola Specchio et al.

Summary: The 2017 International League Against Epilepsy classification defines a three-tier system for epilepsy syndromes, with childhood onset epilepsy syndromes falling into three categories: self-limited focal epilepsies, generalized epilepsies, and developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathies. Identification of specific syndromes helps guide management and prognosis. This paper describes these childhood onset epilepsy syndromes, highlighting their seizure types, EEG features, phenotypic variations, and key investigation findings.
