Etiology
The cause or origin of disease.
Cause
The cause of a disease or abnormal condition.
In recent years there has been a significant expansion in our understanding of the underlying etiologies of the epilepsies, underpinned by advances in modern neuroimaging and genetic testing. As such terminology such as 'idiopathic', 'cryptogenic' and 'symptomatic' are no longer used. Epilepsies are now described more precisely by their specific underlying etiologies.
