| angioneurosis | A group of trophic disorders in which pathological changes occur in blood vessels, often due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction; includes Raynaud's disease, acrocyanosis, erythromelalgia, Buerger's disease, causalgia, and trench foot; archaic concept. Synonym: angioneurosis, vasoneurosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioneurotic | <neurology> Denoting a neuropathy affecting the vascular system. See: angioedema. (18 Nov 1997) |
| angioneurotic oedema | <neurology> An acute or recurring attack of transient oedema suddenly appearing in areas of the skin or mucous membranes and occasionally of the viscera, often associated with dermatographism, urticaria, erythema, and purpura. It can produce dramatic swelling of the subcutaneous tissues (welts beneath the skin) that typically appears around the eyes and lips. Welts may also involve the hands, feet and throat (compromise the airway). This condition is associated with allergies (for example foods, pollen), but may also be a side effect of some medications (for example ACE inhibitors, salicylates). Emotional stress, exposure to cold, water, sunlight, heat and insect bites all have been know to cause angioneurotic oedema. Treatment is with adrenaline, antihistamines, cimetidine, and/or corticosteroids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| angioneurotic oedema, hereditary | A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioedema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| angioneurotomy | Division of both nerves and vessels of a part. Origin: angio-+ G. Neuron, nerve, + tome, a cutting (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioparalysis | Paralysis, atonia, or hypotonia of blood vessels. Synonym: angiohypotonia, angioparalysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioparesis | A mild degree of vasoparalysis. Synonym: angioparesis, vasomotor paralysis. Origin: vaso-+ G. Paresis, weakness (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopathic | Relating to angiopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopathic haemolytic anaemia | A rare postpartum anaemia of unknown aetiology with uraemia and nephrosclerosis; may be a rare complication following use of contraceptive steroids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopathic neurasthenia | Angioparalytic neurasthenia, a form of mild neurasthenia in which the chief complaint is of a universal throbbing or sense of pulsation throughout the body. Synonym: pulsating neurasthenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiopathy | <cardiology> Disease of the blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries) that occurs when someone has diabetes for a long time. There are two types of angiopathy: macroangiopathy and microangiopathy. In macroangiopathy, fat and blood clots build up in the large blood vessels, stick to the vessel walls, and block the flow of blood. In microangiopathy, the walls of the smaller blood vessels become so thick and weak that they bleed, leak protein, and slow the flow of blood through the body. Then the cells, for example: the ones in the centre of the eye, do not get enough blood and may be damaged. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (12 Nov 1997) |
| angiophacomatosis | The angiomatous phacomatoses: von Hippel-Lindau's disease and the Sturge-Weber syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioplany | Synonym: angiectopia. Origin: angio-+ G. Plane, a wandering (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioplasty | <cardiology, surgery> The surgical repair of a blood vessel. A balloon angioplasty is a noninvasive procedure where a balloon-tipped catheter is introduced into a diseased blood vessel. As the balloon is inflated, the vessel opens further allowing for improved flow of blood. (12 Nov 1997) |
