AB  - Epilepsy  is  not  a  single  disease.  Epilepsy  may  represent  a  primary  disorder,  often  with  an  identified  genetic  cause,  or  it  may  be  a  symptom  or  result  of  another  disease.  Understanding  the  etiology  of  a  patient’s  epilepsy  has  important  implications  for  management  and  prognosis.  In  1989,  the  International  League  Against  Epilepsy  (ILAE)  classified  etiologies  of  epilepsy  into  3  main  categories:  symptomatic,  cryptogenic,  and  idiopathic.  In  2010,  the  ILAE  reorganized  the  epilepsies  into  having  a  structural/metabolic  (previously  “symptomatic”),  unknown  (previously  “cryptogenic”),  or  genetic  (previously  “idiopathic”)  cause.  The  ILAE  classification  systems  of  epilepsy  are  discussed  in  more  detail  in  Chapter  549.
