From inescapable, repeated abuse over long periods of time. It's sometimes called Developmental Trauma.

One of the most noticeable differences, for me once I learned about it, is that the flashbacks are not visual like regular PTSD.

Rather, they are flashbacks that submerge you in the emotional state of terror and abandonment experienced during the childhood times of traumatization.

So, I don't have much info on PTSD alone.
