Anospinal

/ænəʊˈspaɪnəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or affecting both the anus and the spinal cord, particularly in anatomical or pathological contexts.

Etymology

From Latin 'anus' + 'spinalis' (relating to spine). A compound anatomical term used in medical literature to describe conditions affecting both regions.

Kelly Says

Some birth defects affect the development of both the anus and the lower spinal cord together because they develop from the same embryonic tissue—so 'anospinal' links structures that seem separate in adults but share deep evolutionary connections.
