Relating to or caused by inflammation affecting both the brain and spinal cord.
From encephalomyelitis + -ic. The Greek roots enkephalos (brain) + myelos (spinal cord marrow) + -itis (inflammation) combine to describe dual spinal-cerebral inflammation.
Encephalomyelitic diseases are particularly scary because they affect the entire central nervous system—your body's command center—which is why conditions like MS and certain autoimmune diseases can be so debilitating.
