| cerebral tetanus | A type of local tetanus that follows wounds to the face and head; after a brief incubation (1-2 days) the facial and ocular muscles become paretic yet undergo repeated tetanic spasms. The throat and tongue muscles may also be affected. Synonym: cerebral tetanus, head tetanus, hydrophobic tetanus, rose cephalic tetanus, Rose's cephalic tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral thrombosis | Clotting of blood in a cerebral vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral trigone | Origin: L, an arch. <anatomy> An arch or fold; as, the fornix, or vault, of the cranium; the fornix, or reflection, of the conjuctiva. Esp, two longitudinal bands of white nervous tissue beneath the lateral ventricles of the brain. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| cerebral tuberculosis | Inflammation of the cerebral leptomeninges marked by the presence of granulomatous inflammation; it is usually confined to the base of the brain (basilar meningitis, internal hydrocephalus) and is accompanied in children by an accumulation of spinal fluid in the ventricles (acute hydrocephalus). Synonym: cerebral tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral veins | Veins draining the cerebrum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebral ventricle neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the brain ventricles including the two lateral, third, and fourth ventricles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebral ventricles | See: lateral ventricle, fourth ventricle, third ventricle, cavity of septum pellucidum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral ventriculography | Radiography of the ventricular system of the brain after injection of air or other contrast medium directly into the cerebral ventricles. It is used also for X-ray computed tomography of the cerebral ventricles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebral vesicle | Each of the three divisions of the early embryonic brain (prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon). Synonym: encephalic vesicle, primary brain vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| great cerebral vein | A large, unpaired vein formed by the junction of the two internal cerebral veins in the caudal part of the tela choroidea of the third ventricle; it passes caudally between the splenium of the corpus callosum and the pineal gland, curving dorsally to merge with the inferior sagittal sinus to form the straight sinus. Synonym: vena cerebri magna, great cerebral vein, great vein of Galen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| great cerebral vein of Galen | A large, unpaired vein formed by the junction of the two internal cerebral veins in the caudal part of the tela choroidea of the third ventricle; it passes caudally between the splenium of the corpus callosum and the pineal gland, curving dorsally to merge with the inferior sagittal sinus to form the straight sinus. Synonym: vena cerebri magna, great cerebral vein, great vein of Galen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cistern of great cerebral vein | <anatomy, vein> An expansion of the subarachnoid space extending forward between the corpus callosum and the thalamus; it encloses the internal cerebral veins which caudally join to form the vena magna cerebri (Galen's vein). Synonym: ambient cistern, Bichat's canal, Bichat's foramen, cistern of great vein of cerebrum, cisterna ambiens, cisterna superioris, cisterna venae magnae cerebri, superior cistern. (05 Mar 2000) |
