| Virchow-Holder angle | An angle formed by the meeting of a line drawn from the middle of the nasofrontal suture to the base of the anterior nasal spine with a line drawn from this last point to the centre of the external auditory meatus. Synonym: Virchow-Holder angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Virchow's angle | An angle formed by the meeting of a line drawn from the middle of the nasofrontal suture to the base of the anterior nasal spine with a line drawn from this last point to the centre of the external auditory meatus. Synonym: Virchow-Holder angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavosurface angle | The angle formed by the junction of a cavity wall and the surface of the tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial angle of eye | The angle formed by the union of the upper and lower eyelids medially. Synonym: angulus oculi medialis, angulus oculi nasalis, internal canthus, medial canthus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cerebellopontine angle syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome due most commonly to an acoustic tumour in the region between the cerebellum and pons, and marked by ataxia, nystagmus, tinnitus, deafness, disturbances of labyrinth function, and involvement of any of the cranial nerves, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, or tenth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine angle tumour | This is a benign tumour of the 8th cranial nerve that affects approximately 1 out of 100,000 people. This tumour arises from the myelin forming Schwann cells that coat the 8th cranial nerve (acoustic nerve). Clinical presentation usually includes hearing deficit. Diagnosis can be made with auditory evoked potentials and/or MRI scanning of the brain. Vertigo and tinnitus may be associated symptoms. Surgical removal of this tumour involves dissection, cautery and obliteration with laser. Causes: acoustic neuroma (90%), meningioma (7%), epidermoid (3%), uncommon: metastasis, trigeminal neuroma, arachnoid cyst, aneurysm, vertebro-basilar dolichoectasia (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesial angle | The angle formed by the meeting of the mesial with the labial (or buccal) or lingual surface of a tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
