Abstract In clinical practice, the main criterion for the severity of the epilepsy and treatment effi ciency is usually the frequency of seizures, at least the type of seizure, and the dynamics of the clinical picture of an epileptic seizure is usually not be considered. The following variants of seizure’s transformations were established: partial with secon dary generalization into simple partial seizures (17.7 %), partial seizures with secondary generalization into complex partial (6.9 %), complex partial seizures into simple partial (10.9 %), complex partial seizures (10.4 %) or simple partial seizures into secondary generalized (15.3 %), simple partial seizures into complex partial (8.2 %), simple partial seizures into combination complex partial and secondary generalized seizures (4.4 %), joining other simple or complex partial seizures (2.7 %), signifi cant lengthening of the partial components in secondary generalized seizures (10.4 %) or complex partial seizures (3.8 %), signifi cant (clinically undetectable) shortening component with partial secondary genera lized (6 %) or complex partial seizures (3.3 %). Revealed transformation divided into positive (35.5 %) and negative (41 %) transformation with the change type seizure and transformation with changing focal component (23.5 %). Created the classifi - cation of transformation of focal seizures in adults. Consideration of transformation of epileptic seizures in adults may be one of the essential criteria for prognosis of the disease, the severity of its course, and the adequacy of therapy.
