Mózgowy

Mózgowy is an adjective in Polish meaning related to the brain. It is used primarily in scientific and medical language to describe anatomical structures, processes, or conditions connected with the brain (mózg). The form is derived from the noun mózg with the standard adjectival suffix -owy, with feminine mózgowa and neuter mózgowe. In compound terms, it frequently appears in hyphenated phrases such as mózgowo-rdzeniowy, meaning cerebrospinal, as in płyn mózgowo-rdzeniowy (cerebrospinal fluid).

Common examples include naczynia mózgowe (brain vessels), choroby mózgowe (brain diseases), and udar mózgowy (cerebral stroke). Another widely used expression is krwotok mózgowy (intracerebral hemorrhage). In everyday Polish, occurrences of mózgowy are largely confined to technical or medical contexts; in non-technical speech, phrases like odnoszący się do mózgu (relating to the brain) are more typical.

See also the noun mózg (brain) and related terms such as płyn mózgowo-rdzeniowy, a standard cerebrospinal fluid term. The adjective's usage reflects the broad domain of neuroanatomy and neurology, where precise descriptors help distinguish brain-specific phenomena from those related to other organs. Overall, mózgowy serves as a formal, specialized descriptor rather than a common everyday adjective.
