A medical condition involving weakness or dysfunction of nerve ganglia or the nervous system associated with ganglion structures.
From Greek 'ganglion' (nerve cluster) plus 'astheneia' (weakness). This is a technical medical term combining two Greek roots to describe neurological weakness.
This word demonstrates how medical language is built like Lego—doctors combine Greek roots ('gangli-' + '-asthenia') to create precise names for conditions they observe, even if the words become almost impossible for patients to pronounce.
