Any disease or disorder affecting the brain or head region, a broad medical term combining head and disease/suffering.
From Greek kephalē (head) + pathos (disease/suffering). This general medical term was created to describe any head-related illness, similar to how 'neuropathy' describes nerve disorders.
Words ending in '-pathy' literally mean 'disease of' or 'suffering of,' so 'cephalopathy,' 'cardiopathy,' and 'arthropathy' all follow the same recipe—find the body part, add the disease suffix, instant diagnosis word!
