A medical term for swelling or edema of the head or tissues surrounding the brain.
From Greek 'kephalē' (head) + 'edema' (swelling, from 'oidema'). This combines the head root with the medical term for abnormal fluid accumulation in tissues.
Cephaldemae is a rare but serious condition where fluid builds up in the head—understanding this medical term helps doctors distinguish between different types of swelling in the brain and skull region.
