| coronal epispadias | Excessively proximal position of meatus in coronal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronal hypospadias | Ventral and proximal malposition of meatus in the coronal sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronal plane | A vertical plane at right angles to a sagittal plane, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions. Synonym: frontal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronal pulp | That portion of the dental pulp contained within the pulp chamber or crown cavity of the tooth. Synonym: pulpa coronalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronal section | A cross section attained by slicing, actually or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body or any anatomic structure in the coronal or frontal plane, i.e., in a vertical plane perpendicular to the median or sagittal plane. Since actual sectioning in the coronal plane results in an anterior and a posterior portion, an anatomical coronal section may be a two-dimensional view of the cut surface of the posterior aspect of the anterior portion, or of the anterior aspect of the posterior portion. Synonym: frontal section. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronal suture | The line of junction of the frontal with the two parietal bones of the skull. Synonym: sutura coronalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
