In 2014, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) published a new, practical definition of epilepsy based on practical clinical needs. The new definition considers that the following conditions should be met for the diagnosis of epilepsy: 1. At least two non-evoked (or reflex) seizures, with two seizures more than 24 hours apart; 2. One non-evoked (or reflex) seizure and the likelihood of future seizures in the next 10 years with two non-evoked seizures The risk of a subsequent recurrence is comparable (at least 60%); 3. The diagnosis of epilepsy syndrome. The following patients can be considered seizure-free: including age-dependent epilepsy syndrome, but now past the age of seizures or seizure-free for 10 years and off medication for at least 5 years. The new definition considers that the diagnosis of epilepsy should be 2 seizures and that they are non-evoked seizures, for example, convulsive seizures in the acute phase of traumatic brain injury and fever-induced convulsive seizures (febrile convulsions) cannot be considered epilepsy. If a patient with epilepsy has not had a seizure in 10 years and has been off medication for 5 years, it can be considered that the epilepsy is no longer occurring and both can be considered cured.
