Italian term or phrase: soffenza
The term "soffenza" occurs in a radiological reports on a cranial CT: "Ipodensità periventricolare per soffenza dela sostanza bianca su base vasculopatica cronica." Can anyone suggest a rendering for "soffenza" in this context?

Thanks very much!

Secondary to vascular compromise (Suffering)
Explanation:
Harold, 'soffenza' is a typo for 'sofferenza'.

The brain white matter has been suffering from ischemia for some time. This causes hypodensity in the CT.

Explanation:
See this sentence taken from an article on animals:
La castrazione è consentita per mantenere la qualità dei prodotti e le pratiche tradizionali di produzione (suini, manzi, capponi. ecc.) ma solo, a condizione che riducano al minimo ogni soffenza per gli animali.

However, in this case, I would translate soffenza as "due to the stressing of ..."

  -> I don't think it is a typo. I found numerous references to this spelling: soffenza
agree  giogi: It's not a typo, you're right. Anyway the simplest solution could be suffering
