The 46 pages that link to Epilepsy, each with the reason it gives.

• Action potentialRelated: Seizures involve abnormal, excessive synchronization of neuronal electrical activity.

• SeizureNarrower topic: A seizure is an episode; epilepsy is a condition that can predispose to repeated episodes.

• GlutamateRelated: Glutamate-mediated excitation contributes to seizure-generating network activity.

• Deep brain stimulationRelated: DBS can reduce seizure frequency in some people with drug-resistant epilepsy.

• GABA receptorRelated: Reduced or altered GABAergic inhibition can contribute to seizure-generating activity.

• GABARelated: Reduced or disrupted inhibition can contribute to the excessive synchronized activity underlying seizures.

• Cerebral palsyRelated: Epilepsy is a common co-occurring condition, especially with more extensive brain injury.

• Vagus nerveNarrower topic: Vagus nerve stimulation is an adjunctive treatment for some people whose seizures resist medication.

• NeurologyBroader topic: Neurologists classify seizures and select treatments to prevent recurrence.

• Status epilepticusNarrower topic: Status epilepticus is an emergency event, not a synonym for the chronic disorder.

• GABA-A receptorRelated: Impaired inhibitory signaling can contribute to seizure generation and is a treatment target.

• Antiseizure medicationNarrower topic: Medication treats seizures within this broader disorder but does not always remove its underlying cause.

• Focal SeizureNarrower topic: A focal seizure may occur in epilepsy, though one seizure alone does not establish the diagnosis.

• ValproateNarrower topic: Valproate is used for several seizure types, including generalized seizures.

• CarbamazepineNarrower topic: Carbamazepine is an antiseizure medication used for selected epilepsy types.

• EncephalitisCompared with: Seizures can occur during encephalitis, but epilepsy is a distinct disorder.

• LamotrigineNarrower topic: Lamotrigine is used alone or with other medicines to treat several seizure types.

• Epilepsy SurgeryNarrower topic: Surgery treats selected forms of this broader disorder rather than epilepsy as a whole.

• Taenia soliumRelated: Neurocysticercosis is a major preventable cause of acquired epilepsy in many endemic regions.

• MicrocephalyRelated: Brain abnormalities associated with microcephaly can increase seizure risk.

• NeurocysticercosisNarrower topic: Neurocysticercosis is a major preventable cause of acquired epilepsy in many endemic regions.

• Bacterial meningitisRelated: Brain injury from severe meningitis can lead to later seizures and epilepsy.

• Drug-Resistant EpilepsyNarrower topic: Drug resistance is a treatment outcome within the broader disorder of epilepsy.

• Angelman syndromeRelated: Seizures are common in Angelman syndrome and often require tailored treatment.

• GabapentinNarrower topic: Gabapentin’s seizure indication is adjunctive treatment for selected seizure types, not all epilepsy.

• PhenobarbitalNarrower topic: Phenobarbital is an antiseizure medicine used to treat epilepsy.

• Absence seizureNarrower topic: Repeated absence seizures can occur as part of an epilepsy syndrome.

• CysticercosisRelated: Seizures are a common presentation of neurocysticercosis.

• Neurological disorderBroader topic: Abnormally synchronized neural activity causes its recurrent seizures.

• AcetazolamideNarrower topic: Acetazolamide is an adjunctive option for selected seizure types, though tolerance can limit long-term use.

• Febrile seizureCompared with: A febrile seizure alone does not establish epilepsy.

• Psychogenic non-epileptic seizureCompared with: Epilepsy causes epileptic seizures, whereas PNES episodes lack the corresponding epileptic activity.

• AnticonvulsantNarrower topic: Anticonvulsants are a mainstay of long-term seizure prevention in epilepsy.

• ClonazepamNarrower topic: Clonazepam is used for selected seizure types rather than as a universal epilepsy treatment.

• Dravet syndromeNarrower topic: Dravet is a specific epilepsy syndrome with characteristic onset, seizure types, and developmental effects.

• TopiramateNarrower topic: Topiramate treats several seizure types, alone or alongside other antiseizure medicines.

• LissencephalyRelated: Seizures are a frequent clinical complication of lissencephaly.

• NeuropsychiatryBroader topic: Seizures and their treatments can intersect with mood, cognition, and behavior.

• NitrazepamRelated: Nitrazepam is used for certain seizure disorders, particularly in some pediatric settings.

• PhenytoinNarrower topic: Phenytoin is one of several medicines used for long-term seizure prevention.

• Brain (anatomy)Related: Seizures arise from abnormal brain activity, sometimes localized to a specific region.

• Infantile epileptic spasms syndromeNarrower topic: This syndrome is one specific form of epilepsy beginning in infancy.

• Nervous System DiseasesBroader topic: Abnormal electrical activity in brain networks causes recurrent seizures.

• Nodding diseaseNarrower topic: Its classification determines how nodding disease is distinguished from other seizure disorders.

• Rasmussen syndromeNarrower topic: Rasmussen syndrome is a severe, acquired cause of focal epilepsy.

• Thomas C. SüdhofRelated: Imbalances in synaptic transmission provide a molecular route to understanding seizure disorders.
