Action items

• ‘variable age onset epilepsy’ should be reclassified under ‘epilepsy syndrome’
• Rename to ‘variable age onset epilepsy syndrome’
• add new terms:
  • variable-age onset idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome
  • variable-age onset focal epilepsy syndrome
  • familial mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
  • variable-age onset combined generalized and focal epilepsy syndromes
  • variable age epilepsy syndrome with developmental and/or epileptic encephalopathy or progressive neurological deterioration
  • epilepsy with auditory features | def: Epilepsy with auditory features (EAF) is a focal epilepsy syndrome with characteristic focal aware sensory auditory seizures. Seizures often produce such mild symptoms that they are not diagnosed. There are no implications expected for development or learning and seizures are typically infrequent and well controlled. EAF may occur as a familial syndrome, familial EAF (FEAF, previous known as autosomal dominant lateral temporal lobe epilepsy or autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features). Inheritance may be autosomal dominant (ADEAF), with incomplete penetrance.
