摘要

The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) established its classification system for epileptic seizures, which is currently the most widely used classification system worldwide, in 1981 [1]. In 2017, the ILAE introduced the latest version of the classification system based on accumulating clinical evidence over the past 30 years, in an effort to revise and supplement the types of seizures and terms used [2]. This chapter discusses the selection of anti-seizure medications (ASMs) according to the latest classifications of seizures, with some evidence-based medical references comparing the two sets of classifications from 1981 and 2017.
