OBS

hemiplejía; hemiplejia: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el Diccionario panhispánico de dudas explica que los sustantivos que terminan en -plejia o -plejía admiten dos acentuaciones: con diptongo ("hemiplejia", "tetraplejia", "paraplejia" […], sin tilde) y con hiato ("hemiplejía", "tetraplejía", "paraplejía" […], con tilde en la i). [...] Por otra parte, se recuerda que estos términos, así como sus derivados ("tetrapléjico", "parapléjico", "hemipléjico" […]), se escriben con jota, no con ge.
