Terminology and classification of seizures and epilepsy in veterinary patients.

Mariani, C.L.
This review outlines the classification systems for epilepsy that have been suggested in human medicine and summarises previous recommendation regarding the utilisation of these in veterinary medicine. The author proposes a set of definitions and terminology for use in veterinary patients including a glossary of descriptive terminology for ictal semiology and a diagnostic scheme for classification of individual patients. It is hoped the paper will result in a universally agreed document to improve communication between veterinary professionals, aid in the design of clinical research and help guide decision making in treatment of veterinary patients with seizures
