Dr Fisher and colleagues have recently provided a commentary on our critique of the 2017 International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification of epileptic seizures and epilepsies.[1] The commentary was disappointing in that it did not depart from their original views and suggests a lack of engagement to consider an alternative framework that might improve the ILAE classifications of epileptic seizures and the epilepsies.[[2]] With the ILAE epilepsy classification, seizures would appear unchanged or would need to be reclassified as "focal aware cognitive seizure." A pure semiological seizure classification, assessing what happens at seizure onset and during evolution, provides neurologists with an anatomofunctional perspective when taking the clinical history.
