Abstract

From the Commission on Classification and Terminology of the International League Against Epilepsy" In 1969, the International League Against Epilepsy published a scheme for classification of epileptic seizures. Professor H. Gastaut, then Secretary-General of ILAE and a member of the Commission an Classification, related the history of the work which represents a milestone in efforts at classifying epileptic seizures and has led to world-wide adoption (Gastaut, 1970). Since the publication of the 1969 classification, objective and sophisticated methods for studying epileptic seizures have became commonplace. These methods include video display of epileptic seizures on magnetic tape, the simultaneous recording of the electroencephalogram using hard-wired recording techniques and radiotelemetry with split screen display and instant replay capability. Since 1975, two- further Commissions on Classification and TerminoIogy of the International League Against Epilepsy have convened in order to continue to update, amend, and improve the dassification in the light of the cap y afforded by the newer techniques to study seizures. Several workshops were convened. In December 1975 a workshop on complex partia1 seizures took place at Bethesda, Maryland, under a Commission chaired by Jerome K. MerIis of Baltimore and comprising Dr. ~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Merlis, Dr. D. David
