Difference between Birth defect and Epilepsy

Birth defect vs. Epilepsy

A birth defect, also known as a congenital disorder, is a condition present at birth regardless of its cause. Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures.

Similarities between Birth defect and Epilepsy

Birth defect and Epilepsy have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anticonvulsant, Brain tumor, Carbamazepine, Cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Gene, Genetic disorder, Heredity, Idiopathic disease, Infection, Metabolic disorder, Mutation, Phenytoin, Pregnancy, Syphilis, Toxoplasmosis, Twin, Valproate.

Anticonvulsant

Anticonvulsants (also commonly known as antiepileptic drugs or as antiseizure drugs) are a diverse group of pharmacological agents used in the treatment of epileptic seizures.

Heredity

Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

Infection

Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.
