Sammanfattning

The international classification of epileptic seizures and syndromes has now been in use for about two decades. It has been shown to be useful and widely accepted; however, the classifications are now subject to increasing challenges due to the growing understanding of the pathophysiology, molecular genetics and neuroanatomical substrate of the origin and spread of epilepsy. Increased understanding of the basic mechanisms of the disease will probably result in more nosologically founded and therapeutically relevant classification concepts.
