2001 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification of seizures

1. Self-limited seizure types

1. Generalized seizures
   1. Tonic–clonic seizures (includes variations beginning with a clonic or myoclonic phase)
   2. Clonic seizures
      1. Without tonic features
      2. With tonic features
   3. Typical absence seizures
   4. Atypical absence seizures
   5. Myoclonic absence seizures
   6. Tonic seizures
   7. Spasms
   8. Myoclonic seizures
   9. Eyelid myoclonia
      1. Without absences
      2. With absences
   10. Myoclonic atonic seizures
   11. Negative myoclonus
   12. Atonic seizures
   13. Reflex seizures in generalized epilepsy syndromes
2. Focal seizures
   1. Focal sensory seizures
      1. With elementary sensory symptoms (e.g., occipital and parietal lobe seizures)
      2. With experiential sensory symptoms (e.g., temporoparietooccipital junction seizures)
   2. Focal motor seizures
      1. With elementary clonic motor signs
      2. With asymmetric tonic motor seizures (e.g., supplementary motor seizures)
      3. With typical (temporal lobe) automatisms (e.g., mesial temporal lobe seizures)
      4. With hyperkinetic automatisms
      5. With focal negative myoclonus
      6. With inhibitory motor seizures
   3. Gelastic seizures
   4. Hemiclonic seizures
   5. Secondarily generalized seizures
   6. Reflex seizures in focal epilepsy syndromes

2. Continuous seizure types

1. Generalized status epilepticus
   1. Generalized tonic–clonic status epilepticus
   2. Clonic status epilepticus
   3. Absence status epilepticus
   4. Tonic status epilepticus
   5. Myoclonic status epilepticus
2. Focal status epilepticus
   1. Epilepsia partialis continua of Kojevnikov
   2. Aura continua
   3. Limbic status epilepticus (psychomotor status) 
   4. Hemiconvulsive status with hemiparesis

3. Precipitating stimuli for reflex seizures

1. Visual stimuli
   1. Flickering light: color to be specified when possible
   2. Patterns
   3. Other visual stimuli
2. Thinking
3. Music
4. Eating
5. Praxis
6. Somatosensory
7. Proprioceptive
8. Reading
9. Hot water
10. Startle
