2006 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification of seizures

1. Self-limited epileptic seizures

1. Generalized onset
   1. Seizures with tonic and/or clonic manifestations
      1. Tonic-clonic seizures
      2. Clonic seizures
      3. Tonic seizures
   2. Absences
      1. Typical absences
      2. Atypical absences
      3. Myoclonic absences
   3. Myoclonic seizure types
      1. Myoclonic seizures
      2. Myoclonic astatic seizures
      3. Eyelid myoclonia
   4. Epileptic spasms
   5. Atonic seizures
2. Focal onset (partial)
   1. Local
      1. Neocortical
         1. Without local spread
            1. Focal clonic seizures
            2. Focal myoclonic seizures
            3. Inhibitory motor seizures
            4. Focal sensory seizures with elementary symptoms
            5. Aphasic seizures
         2. With local spread
            1. Jacksonian march seizures
            2. Focal (asymmetrical) tonic seizures
            3. Focal sensory seizures with experiential symptoms
      2. Hippocampal and parahippocampal
   2. With ipsilateral propagation to:
      1. Neocortical areas (includes hemiclonic seizures)
      2. Limbic areas (includes gelastic seizures)
   3. With contralateral spread to:
      1. Neocortical areas (hyperkinetic seizures)
      2. Limbic areas (dyscognitive seizures with or without automatisms [psychomotor])
   4. Secondarily generalized
      1. Tonic-clonic seizures
      2. Absence seizures
      3. Epileptic spasms (unverified)
3. Neonatal seizures

2. Status epilepticus

1. Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC)
   1. As occurs with Rasmussen syndrome
   2. As occurs with focal lesions
   3. As a component of inborn errors of metabolism
2. Supplementary motor area (SMA) status epilepticus
3. Aura continua
4. Dyscognitive focal (psychomotor, complex partial) status epilepticus
   1. Mesial temporal
   2. Neocortical
5. Tonic-clonic status epilepticus
6. Absence status epilepticus
   1. Typical and atypical absence status epilepticus
   2. Myoclonic absence status epilepticus
7. Myoclonic status epilepticus
8. Tonic status epilepticus
9. Subtle status epilepticus
