Definition
Any disease, dysfunction, or damage affecting the brain, ranging from mild confusion to severe brain damage.
Etymology
From Greek enkephalos (brain) + pathos (disease, suffering). This modern English form combines the ancient Greek roots into a single term covering all brain pathologies.
Kelly Says
Encephalopathy is a catch-all term—hepatic encephalopathy (liver disease affecting the brain), hypertensive encephalopathy (high blood pressure damaging the brain), altitude encephalopathy (oxygen deprivation)—the prefix tells you what caused the brain to malfunction.
