Difference between Epilepsy and Epilepsy syndromes

Epilepsy vs. Epilepsy syndromes

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures. Cases of epilepsy may be organized into epilepsy syndromes by the specific features that are present.

Similarities between Epilepsy and Epilepsy syndromes

Epilepsy and Epilepsy syndromes have 24 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absence seizure, Angelman syndrome, Anticonvulsant, Aura (symptom), Autism spectrum, Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, Childhood absence epilepsy, Down syndrome, Dravet syndrome, Electroencephalography, Epilepsy surgery, Epileptic seizure, Epileptic spasms, Gene, Generalised tonic-clonic seizure, Hippocampus, Inheritance, Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, Lennox–Gastaut syndrome, Management of drug-resistant epilepsy, Photosensitive epilepsy, Reflex seizure, Rolandic epilepsy, Temporal lobe epilepsy.

Absence seizure

Absence seizures are one of several kinds of generalized seizures.

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.

Aura (symptom)

An aura is a perceptual disturbance experienced by some with migraines or seizures before either the headache or seizure begins.

Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy

Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is an epileptic disorder that causes frequent violent seizures during sleep.

Down syndrome

Down syndrome (DS or DNS), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

Dravet syndrome

Dravet syndrome, previously known as severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI), is a type of epilepsy with seizures that are often triggered by hot temperatures or fever.

Electroencephalography

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain.

Epilepsy surgery

Epilepsy surgery involves a neurosurgical procedure where an area of the brain involved in seizures is either resected, disconnected or stimulated.

Epileptic seizure

An epileptic seizure is a brief episode of signs or symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

Epileptic spasms

Epileptic spasms, also known as infantile spasms, juvenile spasms, or West syndrome is an uncommon-to-rare epileptic disorder in infants, children and adults.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Generalised tonic-clonic seizure

A generalized tonic–clonic seizure (formerly known as a grand mal seizure) is a type of generalized seizure that affects the entire brain.

Hippocampus

The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek ἱππόκαμπος, "seahorse" from ἵππος hippos, "horse" and κάμπος kampos, "sea monster") is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates.

Inheritance

Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, rights, and obligations upon the death of an individual.

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), also known as Janz syndrome, is a fairly common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy, representing 5-10% of all epilepsy cases.

Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a childhood-onset epilepsy that most often appears between the second and sixth year of life.

Management of drug-resistant epilepsy

Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), also known as refractory epilepsy or pharmacoresistant epilepsy, is defined as failure of adequate trials of two tolerated and appropriately chosen and used antiepileptic drugs (AED schedules) (whether as monotherapies or in combination) to achieve sustained seizure freedom.

Photosensitive epilepsy

Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a form of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, such as flashing lights; bold, regular patterns; or regular moving patterns.

Reflex seizure

Reflex seizures are epileptic seizures that are consistently induced by a specific stimulus or trigger making them distinct from normal eplipetic seizures, which are usually unprovoked.

Rolandic epilepsy

Benign Rolandic epilepsy or benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECTS) is the most common epilepsy syndrome in childhood.

Temporal lobe epilepsy

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a chronic disorder of the nervous system characterized by recurrent, unprovoked focal seizures that originate in the temporal lobe of the brain and last about one or two minutes.
