I. Partial seizures (limited, focal)
1. Simple partial seizures without impairment of consciousness
(1) Motor (limited, focal)
(2) Sensory (somatic, specific sensory)
(3) Autonomic (autonomic)
(4) Psychogenic (see complex partial seizures)
2. Complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures or temporal lobe epilepsy) with impaired consciousness
(1)Impaired consciousness only
(2) Psychiatric symptoms (perception, emotion, memory, delusion, hallucination, etc.)
(3)Automaticity
Second, generalized seizures (generalized): non-limited start
1.Generalized tonic clonic seizure (grand mal seizure)
2.Absence seizures (petit mal seizures) typical or atypical
3. Other myoclonic seizures, clonic seizures, tonic seizures, atonic seizures
3. Seizures that cannot be classified because of insufficient information or cannot be classified into the above categories
Attachment.
1. Persistent status epilepticus
(1) generalized tonic-clonic seizure status
(2) Continuing status of atonic seizures
(3)Complex partial seizure persistence
(4)Partial seizure continuity
2. Seizures occurring under certain circumstances
(1)Reflex seizures
(2) Seizures caused by various triggering factors (such as alcohol consumption, fatigue, emotions, etc.)
(3) Periodic seizures (e.g. menstruation, awakening sleep cycle, etc.)
Classification of pediatric seizures
I. Partial (restricted, focal) seizures
1. Simple partial seizures
(1) Restricted motor seizures (including restricted somatic motor seizures, Jacksonian seizures, lateralized seizures, etc.).
(2) Restricted sensory seizures (including somatosensory seizures and special sensory (such as visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, vertigo, etc.) seizures.
(3)Restricted vegetative seizures
(4) Restricted psychotic seizures (including aphasia, memory impairment, cognitive impairment, delusion, hallucination and other higher brain disorders other than consciousness disorders).
2.Complex partial seizures
The seizure starts as a simple partial seizure, followed by (or starts with) a disorder (of varying degrees); accompanied by automaticity.
3. Partial seizures evolve into generalized seizures
Generalized (generalized, diffuse) seizures
1.Absorption seizures
2.Myoclonic seizures
3.Clonic seizures
4.Tonic seizures
5.Tonic clonic seizures
6.Loss of tension seizures
III. Other alternative seizures of unknown classification
Suggested classification of epilepsy
(The Seventh National Pediatric Neurological Conference, 1995)
(I) Epilepsy with partial (restricted) seizures
1. Primary (idiopathic)
(1) Benign pediatric epilepsy with central temporal spikes
(2) Pediatric epilepsy with occipital discharges
2.Continuous (symptomatic) or cryptogenic
(1) Pediatric chronic progressive partial continuity epilepsy
(2) Frontal, temporal, parietal or occipital lobe epilepsy
Second, epilepsy that manifests as generalized seizures
1.Primary (idiopathic)
(1) Benign familial neonatal convulsions
(2) Benign neonatal convulsions
(3) Benign infantile myoclonic epilepsy
(4) pediatric dyscalculia epilepsy
(5) juvenile akathisia epileptica
(6)juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
(7) Tonic clonic grand mal epilepsy on awakening
2. Secondary seizures (symptomatic) or cryptogenic
(1) Epileptic encephalopathy with fulminant inhibition in small infants (Otawara syndrome)
(2) Infantile spasms
(3) Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
(4) Myoclonic inability to rise epilepsy
Epilepsy that cannot yet be identified as partial or generalized seizures
1. Severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy
2. Epilepsy with persistent spike-and-slow waves during slow-wave sleep
3. Acquired aphasic epilepsy
4. Epilepsy and special syndromes triggered by various triggering factors
1.Febrile convulsions
2.Reflex epilepsy
3.Other
