| oculoauriculovertebral | Relating to the eyes, ears, and vertebrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia | A syndrome characterised by epibulbar dermoids, preauricular appendages, micrognathia, and vertebral and other anomalies. Synonym: Goldenhar's syndrome, OAV syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculobuccogenital syndrome | <syndrome> A multisystem, chronic recurrent disease characterised by ulceration in the mouth and genitalia, iritis, uveitis, arthritis and thrombophlebitis. Often treated with immunosuppressive therapy (corticosteroids, chlorambucil). (27 Sep 1997) |
| oculocardiac | Relating to the eyes and heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocardiac reflex | A decrease in pulse rate associated with traction on extraocular muscles or compression of the eyeball; especially sensitive in children; may produce asystolic cardiac arrest. Synonym: Aschner's phenomenon, Aschner's reflex, Aschner-Dagnini reflex, oculovagal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocephalic reflex | Turning of the eyes and head toward the source of an auditory, visual, or other form of stimulation. Synonym: oculocephalic reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocephalogyric reflex | Turning of the eyes and head toward the source of an auditory, visual, or other form of stimulation. Synonym: oculocephalic reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocerebrorenal | Relating to the eyes, brain, and kidneys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocerebrorenal syndrome | <syndrome> Autosomal recessive syndrome in which ocular signs include cataracts and glaucoma. The central nervous system defects are manifested by mental retardation and hypotonia, and the renal abnormalities consist of tubular and later, glomerular insufficiency. (12 Dec 1998) |
| oculocutaneous | Relating to the eyes and the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocutaneous albinism | An autosomal recessive deficiency of pigment in skin, hair, and eyes; in the tyrosinase negative type, there is an absence of tyrosinase; in the tyrosinase positive type, there is normal tyrosinase which cannot enter pigment cells; it is transmitted by an autosomal recessive inheritance. The compound heterozygote is normal so the two forms are not allelic. There are several types: type IA is characterised by absence of tyrosinase with life-long complete absence of melanin, marked photophobia, and nystagmus. Type IB, yellow albinism with low or absent tyrosinase; improves with age. Type II, with normal tyrosinase activity is the most common; hair darkens and nevi and freckles develop. Type III is characterised by absent tyrosinase but pigmentation of the iris in the first decade. Type IV in Africans with normal tyrosinase. Type V with red hair. Type VI, Hermansky-Padlak syndrome, with haemorrhage due to platelet deficiency and low to absent tyrosinase. Synonym: Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type VI. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculocutaneous syndrome | <syndrome> Bilateral uveitis with iritis and glaucoma, premature graying of the hair, and alopecia, vitiligo, and dysacusia; related to Harada's syndrome and sympathetic ophthalmia. Synonym: oculocutaneous syndrome, uveocutaneous syndrome. Origin: Cecile and Oscar Vogt (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculodentodigital | Relating to the eyes, teeth, and fingers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oculodentodigital dysplasia | Microphthalmia, coloboma, or anomalies of the iris associated with malformed and malpositioned teeth and with anomalies of the fingers including syndactyly, campylodactyly, or absent phalanges; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome | <syndrome> A congenital short neck associated with paralysis of the external ocular muscles and with perceptive deafness; occurs in girls. Synonym: Wildervanck syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
