encephalopathy
Disordered brain function
Encephalopathy is a broad medical term for any disease or dysfunction of the brain.
It typically refers to conditions that alter brain structure or function, causing symptoms like confusion, memory loss, personality changes, or impaired consciousness.
The term appears with various modifiers indicating the cause: hepatic encephalopathy results from liver failure, while chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) develops from repeated head injuries.
The patient showed signs of encephalopathy after the prolonged infection.
