Cerebral (Cerebral Palsy): Cerebr- (brain), -al (pertaining to), -palsy (paralysis). A group of neurological disorders caused by damage to the brain, resulting in impaired movement, muscle coordination, and posture.7. Echoencephalography: Echo- (echo), encephalo- (brain), -graphy (record). A diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to create images of the brain, often used to detect brain tumors or other abnormalities.8. Hemorrhagic (Hemorrhagic Stroke): Hemorrhag- (bleeding), -ic (pertaining to), -stroke (cerebral vascular accident). A type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain, which can be due to a ruptured blood vessel or head injury.9. Hydrocephalus: Hydro- (water), -cephalus (head). A condition characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to increased intracranial pressure and potentially causing brain damage.10. Ischemic (Ischemic Stroke): Ischemic- (restricted blood flow), -ic (pertaining to), -stroke (cerebral vascular accident). A type of stroke caused by a blockage or narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the brain, leading to a lack of blood flow and oxygen to the affected area.11. Myelitis: Myelo- (marrow or spinal cord), -itis (inflammation). Inflammation of the spinal cord, which can cause pain, weakness, and loss of coordination.12. Narcolepsy: Narco- (narcosis or stupor), -lepsy (seizure or attack). A chronic sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden episodes of sleep, and sleep paralysis.13. Parethesia: Para- (beside or near), -esthetic (sensation), -ia (condition). A sensation of tingling, numbness, or "pins and needles" in the extremities, often due to nerve compression or damage.
