Relating to or characterized by the absence or abnormal condition of the neurilemma, which is the outer sheath covering nerve fibers.
From an- (not) + neurilemma (the myelin sheath or covering of nerve fibers, from neuro- + Greek lemma, husk) plus -ic. Describes a state lacking or deficient in this protective coating.
The neurilemma is like insulation on an electrical wire—without it, nerve signals can get jumbled or cross-talk with each other, so an aneurilemmic condition would be like having exposed wiring inside your nervous system.
