What is another word for Encephalitis Lethargica?
Pronunciation: [ɛnsˌɛfɐlˈa͡ɪtɪs lɛθˈɑːd͡ʒɪkə] (IPA) 
Encephalitis Lethargica, also known as sleeping sickness, is a rare neurological disorder that affects the brain and can lead to extreme lethargy, movement disorders, and cognitive dysfunction. There are several synonyms for this condition, including epidemic encephalitis, postencephalitic parkinsonism, Brainerd's disease, and von Economo's disease. Each of these terms reflects a different aspect of the disorder, such as its tendency to spread rapidly during epidemics, its association with Parkinson's disease-like symptoms, or its identification by the Austrian physician Constantin von Economo in the early 20th century. While Encephalitis Lethargica is relatively rare today, it remains a fascinating and challenging area of research for neurologists and other medical professionals.
