Relating to or involving the arm, face, and tongue; describing neurological or anatomical conditions affecting these three regions.
From brachium (arm) plus facial plus lingual (from lingua, Latin for tongue). This triple compound specifically identifies involvement of all three anatomical regions simultaneously.
Brachiofaciolingual patterns in paralysis or weakness are so specific that neurologists can pinpoint exactly which parts of the brain or spinal cord are damaged just by testing which of these three areas are affected and how.
