focal neurological symptoms (?)

Dear Colleagues,

Can someone help me decipher a word, transcribed literally (well, as

close as I can get) from Hebrew? This word is

" neufocal " . It could be a letter is missing (it happened with other

words, though not necessarily with this one), or just the lack of

vowels in Hebrew.

I've thought of 'neurofocal' but it doesn't seem to fit in (or does it?).

Someone suggested 'no focal complaint in this context', which sort of fits

in, but problem is the text is pure Hebrew, and would be transcribed into

English as 'lofocal' which is quite different from 'neufocal' (or is it?).

Still, it could be a typo, etc. I'd appreciate your input:

" At night, a severe, pressing headache gradually developed, in the

vertex and the forehead, without fever, without dizziness, neufocal

complaint in this context. "

MTIA,

[Guest guest]

A new focus on a complaint in the context.

Or a new addition to a complaint. An additional complaint.

There is not much to go on but a Yiddish speaker could make sense of it,

possibly.

I can only try guess with the context given.

'Neurofocal' seems to be a Spanish dentistry term, as far as my googling

has managed to work out.

, have you tried googling with the exact Hebrew spelling? Can you

spell out the letters, please? (or feel free to email me privately a Word

document, or even better a screenshot).

Thanks very much, and .

I'll go with 'no focal neurological complaints', which fits the context.

Have a good week,
