Abstract:
Epileptic seizure classification serves as an essential tool for evaluating seizures in clinical practice. In 2025, the International League Against Epilepsy updated the classification framework for epileptic seizures. An interpretation of the key updates is provided, with detailed content presented below: "onset" is removed from the names of the main seizure classes; consciousness is used as a classifier instead of awareness; the dichotomy of motor and non-motor is replaced by observable vs nonobservable manifestations; epileptic negative myocionus is recognized as a seizure type, to clarify the key updates to facilitate better application of the consensus in clinical practice.
