Difference between Epilepsy and Focal seizure

Epilepsy vs. Focal seizure

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures. Focal seizures (also called partial seizures and localized seizures) are seizures which affect initially only one hemisphere of the brain.

Similarities between Epilepsy and Focal seizure

Epilepsy and Focal seizure have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aura (symptom), Cerebral hemisphere, Epileptic seizure, Generalised tonic-clonic seizure, Generalized epilepsy, Gliosis, Hippocampal sclerosis, Hippocampus, Neocortex, Neurology, Postictal state, Rolandic epilepsy, Temporal lobe, Temporal lobe epilepsy.

Aura (symptom)

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

Cerebral hemisphere

The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure.

Epileptic seizure

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

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.

Generalized epilepsy

Generalized epilepsy, also known as primary generalized epilepsy or idiopathic epilepsy, is a form of epilepsy characterised by generalised seizures with no apparent cause.

Gliosis

Gliosis is a nonspecific reactive change of glial cells in response to damage to the central nervous system (CNS).

Hippocampal sclerosis

Hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a neuropathological condition with severe neuronal cell loss and gliosis in the hippocampus, specifically in the CA-1 (Cornu Ammonis area 1) and subiculum of the hippocampus.

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.

Neocortex

The neocortex, also called the neopallium and isocortex, is the part of the mammalian brain involved in higher-order brain functions such as sensory perception, cognition, generation of motor commands, spatial reasoning and language.

Neurology

Neurology (from νεῦρον (neûron), "string, nerve" and the suffix -logia, "study of") is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system.

Postictal state

The postictal state is the altered state of consciousness after an epileptic seizure.

Rolandic epilepsy

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

Temporal lobe

The temporal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals.

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.

Epilepsy and Focal seizure Comparison

Epilepsy has 244 relations, while Focal seizure has 39. As they have in common 14, the Jaccard index is 4.95% = 14 / (244 + 39).
