Located or occurring outside the brain or cerebral tissue.
From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'cerebrum' (brain, from Latin/Greek roots meaning 'brain'). Medical anatomical term specifying position relative to brain structures.
Your brain sits in a protective skull, and extracerebral describes things happening in that surrounding space—like when you have a bleed between the brain and skull, it's a dangerous extracerebral situation.
