Relating to or characterized by incomplete development of the spinal cord or central nervous system.
From 'atelo-' (incomplete) + 'mitic' (from Greek 'myelos' meaning marrow/spinal cord, with altered suffix '-mitic'), used rarely in neurology to describe spinal cord malformations.
This extremely rare word appears in obscure medical literature describing neural tube defects—when the structure that becomes the spinal cord fails to fully close and develop during pregnancy.
