What's the difference between hydrops and hydropsy?
Hydrops
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(20) Although this series is not comprehensive enough, it seems to indicate that interruption of the lateral semicircular duct has a possibility of diminishing labyrinthine hydrops, as in cases of Ménière's disease, without hearing disturbance, provided that complications do not develop.
Hydropsy
Definition:
(n.) Same as Dropsy.
Example Sentences:
(1) Two cases of JET are reported: Case 1 was a 35-week-gestational age newborn who was found to have hydropsy and fetal tachycardia at the 21st week of gestational age.

(3) Consequently, vital metabolic functions were impaired, hydropsy and evisceration developed, and fetuses were deformed.
(4) Withering's (1741-1799) greatest merit is not so much that of having discovered the therapeutic value of foxglove in hydropsy, since this indication (among others) was already part of traditional medicine, but actually during a decade of carefully recording clinical observations, he authoritatively settled definite guidelines for its use.
