| masa syndrome | <syndrome> MASA stands for mental retardation, aphasia, shuffling gait, and adducted thumbs. Features of the syndrome include (1) neurologically: mental retardation and aphasia (lack of speech); (2) limbs: adducted (clasped) thumbs, absent extensor pollicis longus and/or brevis muscles to the thumb, shuffling gait, and leg spasticity; (3) growth: small body size; (4) skeleton: lumbar lordosis (sway back). It is inherited as an x-linked trait and so affects mainly boys. Alternative names for masa include clasped thumb and mental retardation, congenital clasped thumb with mental retardation, adducted thumb with mental retardation, and the gareis-mason syndrome. inheritance: X-linked (29 Dec 1998) |

| carpal tunnel syndrome | <syndrome> A condition where there is a disturbance of median nerve function in the wrist as the nerve passes through the carpal tunnel. A buildup of scar tissue (inside the carpal tunnel) can lead to this surgically correctable problem. Often treated with splinting and anti-inflammatory agents. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Carpenter's syndrome | <syndrome> The association of primary hypothyroidism, primary adrenocortical insufficiency, and diabetes mellitus. Origin: C. C. J. Carpenter Synonym: acrocephalopolysyndactyly. Origin: G. Carpenter (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical retraction syndrome | <syndrome> A retraction of the globe and pseudoptosis on attempted adduction; due to co-innervation of the horizontal recti. Sometimes there is an inability to abduct the affected eye (type 1), or adduct the affected eye (type 2), or both (type 3). Synonym: Duane's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome | <syndrome> A familial spongiform encephalopathy. Transgenic mice with a mutant form of the PrP gene from patients with this syndrome develop degenerative brain disease that is similar, but not identical, to that caused by scrapie. It is a more chronic cerebellar form of spongiform encephalopathy, producing a neurodegenerative condition that has morphological similarities to Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome. However, in this syndrome there is slower progression, signs of spinocerebellar ataxia, and the spongiosis is less pronounced. Prion proteins and amyloid plaques are found in the brain of patients with the syndrome. A germline mutation of the prion protein has been demonstrated. (12 Jul 2000) |
| Gerstmann syndrome | <syndrome> Tetrad of finger agnosia, dysgraphia or agraphia, dyscalculia or acalculia, and right-left disorientation producing confusion of laterality of the body. The syndrome can occur in brain-damaged and apparently normal children as well as in adults who have had vascular accidents, and is caused by lesions between the occipital area and the angular gyrus.

| Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome | <syndrome> Unilateral conjunctival granuloma with preauricular adenopathy in tularaemia, chancre, and tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Parinaud's syndrome | <syndrome> Paralysis of conjugate upward gaze with a lesion at the level of the superior colliculi; Bell's phenomenon is present. Synonym: Parinaud's ophthalmoplegia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parinaud syndrome | <radiology> Paralysis of upward gaze, also known as: supranuclear palsy, compression of tectal (quadrigeminal) plate, by pineal mass (12 Dec 1998) |
| massive bowel resection syndrome | <syndrome> Malabsorption following extensive resection of the bowel, particularly the small intestine, characterised by diarrhoea, steatorrhoea, hypoproteinaemia, and malnutrition. (05 Mar 2000) |
| MASS syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome closely resembling both the Marfan's syndrome and the Barlow syndrome. However, no dislocation of the lenses or aneurysmal changes occur in the aorta, and the mitral valve prolapse is by no means invariable. at present it has been assigned no separate OMIM number, but shares that of the Barlow syndrome. Origin: mitral valve prolapse, aortic anomalies, skeletal changes, and skin changes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gianotti-Crosti syndrome | <syndrome> A cutaneous manifestation of hepatitis B infection occurring in young children; an exanthem comprised of dusky papules on the legs, buttocks, and extensors of the arms; it lasts 2 to 8 weeks and is associated with adenopathy and malaise. Synonym: papular acrodermatitis of childhood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gilbert's syndrome | <syndrome> An inherited disorder that affects the way bilirubin in handled by the liver. Thought to be due to an inborn error of bilirubin metabolism. Symptoms include mild jaundice, weakness, fatigue, nausea and abdominal pain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| maternal deprivation syndrome | <syndrome> A failure to thrive seen in infants and young children and exhibited as a constellation of physical signs, symptoms, and behaviours, usually associated with maternal loss, absence or neglect, and characterised by lack of responsiveness to the environment and often depression. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome | <syndrome> Both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics present with tics occurring many times a day, nearly daily, over a period of more than one year. The onset is before age 18 and the disturbance is not due to direct physiological effects of a substance or a general medical condition. The disturbance causes marked distress or significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. (dsm-IV, 1994) (12 Dec 1998) |
