| Macleod's syndrome | A state in which the roentgenographic density of one lung (or one lobe) is markedly less than the density of the other(s) because of the presence of air trapped during expiration. Synonym: Macleod's syndrome, Swyer-James syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pachydermoperiostosis syndrome | <radiology> Idiopathic, familial hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, boys at puberty, blacks more than whites, familial, periosteal reaction, thick skin: extremities and forehead, hyperhidrosis, relatively pain free (12 Dec 1998) |
| radial aplasia-thrombocytopenia syndrome | <syndrome> Aplasia (absence) of the radius (the long bone on the thumb-side of the forearm) and thrombocytopenia (low blood platelets) are key features characterizing this syndrome. There is phocomelia (flipper-limb) with the thumbs always present. The fibula (the smaller bone in the lower leg) is often absent. The risk of bleeding from too few platelets is high in early infancy but lessens with age. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive trait with one gene (on a non-sex chromosome) coming from each parent to the child affected with the disease. Alternative names include thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome, tar syndrome, and tetraphocomelia-thrombocytopenia syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Paget-von Schrotter syndrome | <syndrome> Stress thrombosis or spontaneous thrombosis of the subclavian or axillary vein; a thoracic-outlet syndrome. Synonym: effort-induced thrombosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radicular syndrome | A group of symptoms resulting from any interference with the intradural portion of one or more spinal nerve roots; the chief symptoms are pain, paresthesia, hypesthesia, or hyperesthesia, motor, trophic, and reflex disturbances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| painful-bruising syndrome | <syndrome> An intense inflammatory reaction to slight extravasation of blood, due to an allergic sensitivity to red blood cells; more commonly seen in adult women. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mad Hatter syndrome | <syndrome> Gastrointestinal and central nervous system manifestations of chronic mercury poisoning, including stomatitis, diarrhoea, ataxia, tremor, hyperreflexia, sensorineural impairment, and emotional instability; previously seen in workers in lead manufacturing who put mercury-containing materials in their mouths to make them more pliable. Origin: fr. Char. In Alice in Wonderland (05 Mar 2000) |

| Mafucci syndrome | <syndrome> Rare, multiple enchondromata, 40 - 45% malignant transformation leading to chondrosarcoma, multiple cavernous haemangiomata, may degenerate leading to angiosarcoma Cf: Ollier disease (12 Dec 1998) |
| Magendie-Hertwig syndrome | <clinical sign> Skew deviation of the eyes in acute cerebellar lesions. Synonym: Magendie-Hertwig syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paleostriatal syndrome | <syndrome> An intention tremor beginning in one extremity, gradually increasing in intensity, and subsequently involving other parts of the body. Synonym: progressive cerebellar tremor. Facial paralysis, otalgia, and herpes zoster resulting from viral infection of the seventh cranial nerve and geniculate ganglion, a form of juvenile paralysis agitans associated with primary atrophy of the pallidal system. Synonym: paleostriatal syndrome, pallidal syndrome. Synonym: Ramsay Hunt's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vanished testis syndrome | <syndrome> Absence of both testes in a male with normal chromosomes (XY) and otherwise normal genitalia at birth and during childhood. Testes were present in at least the first trimester of gestation, but vanished sometime thereafter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vanishing lung syndrome | <syndrome> Progressive decrease of radiographic opacity of the lung caused by accelerated development of emphysema or rapid cystic destruction of the lung from infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pallidal syndrome | <syndrome> An intention tremor beginning in one extremity, gradually increasing in intensity, and subsequently involving other parts of the body. Synonym: progressive cerebellar tremor. Facial paralysis, otalgia, and herpes zoster resulting from viral infection of the seventh cranial nerve and geniculate ganglion, a form of juvenile paralysis agitans associated with primary atrophy of the pallidal system.
