Relating to or affected by paralysis of the head or head muscles.
From Greek 'kephale' (head) + '-plegic' (relating to paralysis). The adjective form of cephaloplegia, formed by replacing the noun suffix '-plegia' with the adjectival suffix '-plegic'.
Medical adjectives ending in '-plegic' describe the actual condition rather than just naming it—a cephaloplegic patient has paralysis affecting their head, while cephaloplegia names the disease itself.
