abstract：PURPOSE:Accurate classification of epileptic seizures, epilepsies, and epilepsy syndromes is mandatory in both clinical practice and epilepsy research. In 2010, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) proposed a new classification scheme. The aim of this study is to determine whether application of this new cl...
