Epileptic seizures, epilepsy and epileptic syndromes in newborns: A nosological approach to 94 new cases by the 2001 proposed diagnostic scheme for people with epileptic seizures and with epilepsy

Compared to the 1989 ILAE classification, which allowed a syndromic diagnosis in only 6/94 patients, the remaining being classified as Epilepsies and Syndromes undetermined whether focal or generalized, the 2001 ILAE diagnostic scheme, applied at the end of the neonatal period, offers a variety of approaches to classification, allowing an early distinction between epilepsy and single or isolated clusters of seizures, with therapeutic and prognostic implications.
