| Bartholin's abscess | An abscess of the vulvovaginal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bartholin's cyst | A cyst arising from the major vestibular gland or its ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bartholin's cystectomy | Removal of a cyst of a major vestibular gland. Synonym: vulvovaginal cystectomy. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Bartholin's gland | One of two mucoid-secreting tubuloalveolar glands on either side of the lower part of the vagina, the equivalent of the bulbourethral glands in the male; ensheathed with vestibular bulbs by ischiocavernosus muscles. Thus erection and muscle contraction cause secretion into vestibule of vagina. Synonym: glandula vestibularis major, Bartholin's gland, Duverney's gland, Tiedemann's gland, vulvovaginal gland.

| anus cerebri | Entrance to the cerebral aqueduct (of Sylvius) from the caudal part of the third ventricle. Synonym: aditus ad aqueductum cerebri, Bartholin's anus, opening to cerebral aqueduct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anus, imperforate | Persistence of the anal membrane, so that the anus is closed. The defect is not always complete; sometimes a narrow opening permits the passage of the bowel contents. When completely imperforate, the anus is seen as a dimple (the proctodeal pit) in the skin of the perineum. The latter condition is often associated with atresia of the lower rectum. (12 Dec 1998) |

| artificial anus | An opening into the bowel, usually in the right or left flank, as a result of a colostomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vesicalis anus | Imperforate anus with urinary bladder opening into the anus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular anus | <anatomy, surgery> A congenital malformation in which the anus is imperforate but the rectum opens into the vagina just above the vulva. (05 Mar 2000) |
