Groups of Syndromes Specific Syndromes
Idiopathic Focal Epilepsies of Infancy and Childhood Benign Infantile Seizures (Non-Familial
Benign Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes
Early Onset Benign Childhood Occipital Epilepsy (Panayiotopoulos type)
Late Onset Childhood Occipital Epilepsy (Gastaut type)
Familial (Autosomal Dominant) Focal Epilepsies Benign Familial Neonatal Seizures
Benign Familial Infantile Seizures
Autosomal Dominant Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy
Familial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Familial Focal Epilepsy with Variable Foci*
Symptomatic (or Probably Symptomatic) Focal Epilepsies

Limbic Epilepsies

  • Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy with Hippocampal Sclerosis
  • Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Defined by Specific Etiologies
  • Other Types Defined by Location and Etiology

Neocortical Epilepsies
