Relating to or located in the back of the head.
From Latin dorsum (back) + cephalic (relating to the head, from kephale = head). Descriptive of the posterior region of the skull and scalp. Medical terminology.
The dorsocephalic region includes the back of your scalp and the base of your skull—it's why hitting the back of your head is different from hitting your forehead in terms of injury patterns!
