Fischer 2014 Epilepsy is considered to be resolved for individuals who either had an agedependent epilepsy syndrome but are now past the applicable age or who have remained seizure-free for the last 10 years and off antiseizure medicines for at least the last 5 years. “Resolved” is not necessarily identical to the conventional view of “remission or “cure.” Different practical definitions may be formed and used for various specific purposes. This revised definition of epilepsy brings the term in concordance with common use. The Task Force therefore adopted the phrase “resolved.”III When epilepsy is resolved, it implies that the person no longer has epilepsy, although it does not guarantee that it will not return. The Task Force chose to define epilepsy as being resolved for individuals who had an age-dependent epilepsy syndrome but are now past the applicable age or those who have remained seizure-free for the last 10 years, with no seizure medicines for the last 5 years.
