Spanish term

necrogliótica

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical report
I have come across this term and I can't find a translation. According to Google the word appears in the following link, though I haven't been able to find it yet.

PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS
TC CRANEAL:
Cambios post-quirúgicos frontales izquierdos con una extensión lesión *necrogliótica* frontal y fronto-basal.
No lesiones hemorrágicas intracraneales.
Sistema ventricular de medida normal.
Sin otros hallazgos

It's a typed report from a hospital in Catalonia, although it's all in Spanish.

I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

@Charles Thank you for your help. However, I don't think I'm the right person to change medical terms and although 'necrotic white-matter lesions' seems to be a good solution, I decided to keep to the original.

Thank you all for your help I don't usually translate medical reports - I wasn't born to be a doctor - but I sort of felt I had to accept this one.

As regards 'necrogliótica', in the end I used Neil's suggestion and went for 'necro-gliotic' and included a note with the translation. The client answered with: "Many thanks for your investigation into this and your feedback..." which makes me think they were satisfied!

@ Helena No luck with necrotic gliotic lesions, but there's a small but I think significant number of instances of "necrotic white-matter lesion(s)". I wonder if this could be referring to the same thing. Not that white matter and glial cells are synonyms, but white matter does consist largely of glial cells, it seems.

The word appears at the top of page 15 in the link I included in my question.

agree neilmac : I'd consider coining "necro-gliotic" if it doesn't already exist somewhere...

agree Anne Schulz : "necro-gliotic" seems appropriate, based on the assumption that "necrogliótica" is not really a standard term, either.

necrótica = necrotic

Peer comment(s):

agree Anne Schulz : necrotic glial cells? (this Agree is, however, only a CL 1 as well) // Ah, your second choice seems to be more appropriate, going from the literal sense of the word: necrotic and gliotic lesion, rather than necrotic glia lesion.
