Although in common usage, the terms are considered synomynous, dwarfism is a recognised medical condition. Midget is a term which is considered somewhat offensive as it has no medical definition.

Nothing. People Just Tend To Use Different Terms That Mean The Same Thing.

No they don't mean the same thing - dwarfism is a genetic condition and the proportions of the body are 'uneven' whereas midget is a term used to describe someone of small stature ( usually as a derogatory term)
