title: [On the classification of epilepsies].
abstract: The 1989 ILAE Classification of Epilepsies has been received favorably worldwide. Its clinical use, however, has disclosed points of controversy that may prevent the uniform application initially anticipated. Since 1989 an increasing number of epileptic syndromes have been described and are still waiting for recognition, justifying a new update of the ILAE classifications.
