A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Finding site	The cerebrum is the regional structure of the brain, which is the adult equivalent of the forebrain or prosencephalon. It is constituted by the structural derivatives of the telencephalon and diencephalon including the cerebral hemispheres, epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus, lateral ventricles and third ventricle. This definition is harmonious with the Federation of Association of Anatomist Second Edition (2019) Part V Terminologia Anatomica.	false	Inferred relationship	Some	1

A rare, genetic, infantile epilepsy syndrome disease characterized by neonatal- to infancy-onset myoclonic focal seizures occurring in various members of a family, associated in some with mild dysarthria, ataxia and borderline-to-moderate intellectual disability.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Epilepsy due to congenital infectious disease (disorder)	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Epilepsy due to glucose transporter protein type 1 deficiency syndrome (disorder)	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Epilepsy due to Rasmussen syndrome (disorder)	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Epilepsy due to perinatal intraventricular haemorrhage	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Epilepsy due to perinatal cerebral ischemia (disorder)	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Epilepsy due to perinatal periventricular hemorrhage (disorder)	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
A rare epileptic and developmental encephalopathy characterized by seizure onset during the first months of life, focal seizures arising independently in both hemispheres, marked drug resistance, and severe, long-term cognitive disability.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Benign infantile seizures associated with mild gastroenteritis is a rare infantile epilepsy syndrome characterized by benign afebrile seizures in previously healthy infants and children (age range 1 month to 6 years) with mild acute gastroenteritis without any central nervous system infection, severe dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances. In most cases the seizures are tonic-clonic with focal origin on EEG, occur between day 1 and 6 following onset of acute gastroenteritis, cease within 24 hours and do not persist after the illness.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
A type of epilepsy associated with developmental impairment where the developmental impairment is due to both the underlying etiology, independent of epileptic activity, and the superimposed epileptic encephalopathy. An epileptic encephalopathy is where the epileptic activity itself contributes to severe cognitive and behavioral impairments above and beyond what might be expected from the underlying pathology alone.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
A type of epilepsy characterised by frequent epileptiform activity associated with developmental slowing and often regression on the background of previously normal development. In this type of epilepsy the frequent seizures and/or epileptiform discharges, rather than underlying aetiology is thought to be the only cause of developmental impairment.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
A rare, genetic, central nervous system malformation syndrome characterized by congenital, progressive microcephaly, neonatal to infancy-onset of severe, intractable seizures, and diffuse cerebral cortex and cerebellar vermis atrophy with mild cerebellar hemisphere atrophy, associated with profound global developmental delay. Hypotonia or hypertonia with brisk reflexes, variable dysmorphic facial features, ophthalmological signs (cortical visual impairment, nystagmus, eye deviation) and episodes of sudden extreme agitation caused by severe illness may also be associated.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
A rare autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia-epilepsy-intellectual disability syndrome characterized by early-childhood onset of cerebellar ataxia associated with generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy and psychomotor development delay, dysarthria, gaze-evoked nystagmus and learning disability. Other features in some patients include upper motor neuron signs with leg spasticity and extensor plantar responses, and mild cerebellar atrophy on brain MRI.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
West syndrome	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Progressive myoclonic epilepsy	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
A rare genetic neurometabolic disease characterised by microcephaly, short stature, epilepsy, cerebral hypomyelination, severe global developmental delay, and progressive spasticity. Macrocytic anaemia and hyperthermia have also been reported in association. Brain imaging reveals delayed myelination with minimal progression over time, mild cerebellar atrophy and/or thin corpus callosum.	Is a	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some
Education about epilepsy and driving	Has focus	True	A disease of the brain characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures.	Inferred relationship	Some	2
