| progressive cerebral poliodystrophy | Familial progressive spastic paresis of extremities with progressive mental deterioration, with development of seizures, blindness and deafness, beginning during the first year of life, and with destruction and disorganization of nerve cells of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: Alpers disease, Christensen-Krabbe disease, progressive cerebral poliodystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive circumscribed cerebral atrophy | Circumscribed atrophy of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: lobar sclerosis, progressive circumscribed cerebral atrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high altitude cerebral oedema | <physiology> A serious condition that results from the sudden increase in pressure within the brain due to swelling. This is thought to occur secondary to exposure to high altitudes, generally in excess of 12,000 feet. (12 Jan 1998) |

| stellate cells of cerebral cortex | Small star-shaped cell's in the second and fourth layers of the cortex, and large stellate cell's in the deeper part of the third layer in the visual cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial cerebral veins | The veins on the superficial surface of the cerebral hemispheres; they comprise three groups: superior, middle, and inferior. Synonym: venae cerebri superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial middle cerebral vein | <anatomy, vein> A large vein passing along the line of the sylvian fissure to join the cavernous sinus; it communicates with the superior sagittal sinus and transverse sinus via the superior and inferior anastomotic veins, respectively. Synonym: vena cerebri media superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior cerebral veins | Numerous (8 to 10) veins that drain the dorsal convexity of the cortical hemisphere and empty into the superior sagittal sinus, curving rostrally in passing through the subdural space so as to enter the sinus at an acute forward angle. Synonym: venae cerebri superiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superolateral cerebral surface | The aspect of the cerebral hemisphere that lies in contact with the flat bones of the skull; it includes parts of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Synonym: facies superolateralis cerebri, cortical convexity, superolateral cerebral surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| desmoplastic cerebral astrocytoma | <tumour> A rare variant of astrocytoma most frequently occurring in infancy, the tumour has a spindled cell appearance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dominance, cerebral | Dominance of one cerebral hemisphere over the other in cerebral functions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| impressions for cerebral gyri | The depressions on the inner surface of the skull which correspond to the convolutions of the brain. Synonym: impressiones digitatae, digitate impressions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior cerebral surface | The inferior surface of the brain visible when seen from below. Synonym: facies inferior cerebri, basis cerebri, inferior cerebral surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior cerebral veins | Numerous cerebral veins that drain the undersurface of the cerebral hemispheres and empty into the cavernous and transverse sinuses. Synonym: venae cerebri inferiores. (05 Mar 2000) |
