Cephalomeningitis

/ˌsɛf.ə.loʊ.mɛn.ɪnˈdʒaɪ.tɪs/ noun

Definition

Inflammation of the meninges (membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) affecting the head region, essentially meningitis.

Etymology

From Greek kephalē (head) + Greek meninx (membrane) + -itis (inflammation). This medical term is essentially a more specific way of saying meningitis when focusing on head involvement.

Kelly Says

Before antibiotics, meningitis was a death sentence—the term cephalomeningitis emphasizes how the infection attacks the protective membranes around your brain, which is why it's so serious and why we vaccinate against it today.
