Etiology presumed to be genetic. Usually age- dependent • Symptomatic epilepsy syndrome: Epileptic seizures are result of an identifiable structural lesion • Probably symptomatic epilepsy syndrome : Epileptic seizures are believed to be symptomatic, but no aetiology has been identified • Benign epilepsy syndrome: Epileptic seizures are easily treated or need no treatment and remit without sequelae PROPOSED DIAGNOSTIC SCHEME FOR PEOPLE WITH % Etiology of epilepsy EPILEPTIC SEIZURES AND WITH EPILEPSY Engel et al.
