• Popis: 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. 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. Epileptologists actively dealing with people with epilepsy must provide feedback and express their views on any official ILAE position, as the latter would only be valid if it succeeds in striking a balance between the perspectives of any ILAE commission and that of the practitioners. It is evident that thoughtful critiques of ILAE position papers can only be forwarded once a text is published and their directions put into use, which is what we did in our critique, in an effort to achieve the best synthesis of accumulated knowledge that could result in a practical, useful, and forward-looking classification of epileptic seizures and the epilepsies.
