Encephalomyelitis Disseminata

Encephalomyelitis disseminata is a synonym for multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system.

Etymology: "Encephalon" is Greek and means "brain", "myelon" is also Greek and means "spinal cord". The ending "-itis" indicates an inflammatory disease. "Disseminata" is Latin (derived from the verb "disseminare", i.e. to broadcast, disseminate) and indicates that inflammation occurs at more than one place within the central nervous system.
