idiopathic disease

idiopathic disease
A disease which develops gradually, or at least imperceptibly, and, while it may be attributable to external conditions, is also dependent in part on conditions inherent in the individual; a disease which cannot be regarded as an injury by accident. Iwanicki v State Industrial Acci. Com. 104 Or 650, 205 P 990, 29 ALR 682, 688.
