Dysneuria

/dɪsˈnjʊriə/ noun

Definition

Any abnormal or defective condition affecting the nerves or nervous system.

Etymology

From Greek 'dys-' (bad, abnormal) + 'neuron' (nerve). This technical medical term describes various nervous system dysfunctions and neurological abnormalities.

Kelly Says

This is an umbrella term neurologists use for any nerve problem that isn't quite fitting neatly into other categories—it's medical shorthand for 'something's wrong with the nerves, but we're still figuring out exactly what.'
