-
Palsy of the lower half of the body, including the bladder and rectum. It is, generally, owing to disease of some part of the cerebro-spinal axis; especially of the spinal portion. The ancients sometimes used the term for incomplete apoplexy. Some authors have, also, made a distinction between paraplegia and paraplexia, - using the former for partial apoplexy,- the latter for general or complete apoplexy.
