| ebstein's anomaly | Congenital downward displacement of the tricuspid valve with the septal and posterior leaflets being attached to the wall of the right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|
| ebstein anomaly | <radiology> Tricuspid valve: abnormal formation and insertion, usually tricuspid insufficiency, right atrial enlargement (if severe, box-like heart), decreased pulmonary vascularity, cyanosis, severe at birth, mild in later childhood, angio: to-and-fro motion of contrast between RA and atrialised RV (12 Dec 1998) |

| Armanni-Ebstein change | Glycogen vacuolization of the loops of Henle, seen in diabetics before the introduction of insulin. Synonym: Armanni-Ebstein change. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Armanni-Ebstein kidney | Glycogen vacuolization of the loops of Henle, seen in diabetics before the introduction of insulin. Synonym: Armanni-Ebstein change. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Pel-Ebstein disease | The remittent fever common in Hodgkin's disease. Synonym: Pel-Ebstein disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Pel-Ebstein fever | The remittent fever common in Hodgkin's disease. Synonym: Pel-Ebstein disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ebstein's disease | Congenital downward displacement of the tricuspid valve with the septal and posterior leaflets being attached to the wall of the right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Ebstein's sign | <clinical sign> In pericardial effusion, obtuseness of the cardiohepatic angle on percussion. Sign of oedema of lower eyelid, swelling of the lower lid found in congestive failure, myxoedema, or nephrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ebstein, Wilhelm | <person> German physician, 1836-1912. See: Ebstein's anomaly, Ebstein's disease, Ebstein's sign, Armanni-Ebstein change, Armanni-Ebstein kidney, Pel-Ebstein disease, Pel-Ebstein fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alder's anomaly | Coarse azurophilic granulation of leukocytes, especially granulocytes, which may be associated with gargoylism and Morquio's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of anomaly | <ophthalmology> An obsolete term for the degree of deviation from parallelism of the visual axes of the eyes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anomaly | A marked deviation from the normal standard, especially as a result of congenital defects. Origin: Gr. Anomalia (18 Nov 1997) |
| Aristotle's anomaly | When a small object is held between the first and second fingers crossed in such a way that it touches or presses upon skin surfaces which ordinarily are not pressed upon simultaneously by a single object, it is perceived falsely as two. (05 Mar 2000) |
| May-Hegglin anomaly | A disorder in which neutrophils and eosinophils contain basophilic structures known as Dohle or Amato bodies and in which there is faulty maturation of platelets, with thrombocytopenia; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym: May-Hegglin anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pelger-huet anomaly | An inherited defect interfering with normal nuclear lobulation of neutrophils and eosinophils. The nuclei appear rodlike, spherical, or dumbbell-shaped and their structure is coarse and lumpy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Pelger-Huet nuclear anomaly | Congenital inhibition of lobulation in the nuclei of neutrophilic leukocytes; most cells present band or bilobulate appearance, and only an occasional cell is trilobed; it is not associated with disease, but may be confused with leukocyte "shift to left"; autosomal dominant inheritance.
