tetraplejía; tetraplejia: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que, en general, son válidas tanto las formas que articulan las vocales finales como un hiato —y por tanto se tildan— ("tetraplejía", "paraplejía" [...]) como las que las que lo hacen con diptongo —y en consecuencia se escriben sin tilde— ("tetraplejia", "paraplejia" [...]), aunque advierte que en el español actual son más comunes estas últimas. La palabra "apoplejía" es una excepción, ya que solo se considera válida esa forma (no "apoplejia"). 5, record 5, Spanish, - tetraplej%C3%ADa
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
"Tetraplejia" o "tetraplejía". [...] Ambas acentuaciones son válidas (→ -plejia o -plejía). En América, especialmente en la Argentina, es muy frecuente el uso del sinónimo "cuadriplejia" ("cuadriplejia" o "cuadriplejía"). 3, record 5, Spanish, - tetraplej%C3%ADa
