| epihyal ligament | <anatomy> A fibrous cord that passes from the tip of the styloid process to the lesser cornu of the hyoid bone; it is occasionally ossified. Synonym: ligamentum stylohyoideum, epihyal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epihyoid | Upon the hyoid bone; denoting certain accessory thyroid glands lying above the geniohyoid muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epikeratophakia | A procedure that modifies the refractive error of the lens by the transplantation of a donor cornea to the anterior surface of the patient's cornea. The basic indication for epikeratophakia is the incapability of correcting refractive errors with conservative methods, such as glasses, contact lenses, or intraocular lenses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epikeratophakic keratoplasty | A procedure that modifies the refractive error of the lens by the transplantation of a donor cornea to the anterior surface of the patient's cornea. The basic indication for epikeratophakia is the incapability of correcting refractive errors with conservative methods, such as glasses, contact lenses, or intraocular lenses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epikeratoprosthesis | A contact lens attached to the corneal stroma to replace the epithelium. Origin: epi-+ G. Keras, horn, + prosthesis, an addition (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilamellar | Upon or above a basement membrane. Origin: epi-+ L. Lamella, dim. Of lamina, a thin metal plate (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilate | To extract a hair; to remove the hair from a part by forcible extraction, electrolysis, or loosening at the root by chemical means. Compare: depilate. Origin: L. E, out, + pilus, a hair (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilation | The act or result of removing hair. Synonym: depilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilatory | 1. Having the property of removing hair; relating to epilation. Synonym: depilatory, psilotic. See: decalvant. Synonym: depilatory. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilemma | The connective tissue sheath of nerve fibres near their termination. Origin: epi-lemma, husk (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilemmal ending | A nerve ending in close relation to the outer surface of the sarcolemma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilepidoma | <tumour> A tumour resulting from hyperplasia of tissue derived from the true epiblast. Origin: epi-+ G. Lepis, rind, + -oma, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |
| epilepsia | <disease, neurology> The paroxysmal transient disturbances of brain function that may be manifested as episodic impairment or loss of consciousness, abnormal motor phenomena, psychic or sensory disturbances or perturbation of the autonomic nervous system. Symptoms are due to paroxysmal disturbance of the electrical activity of the brain. On the basis of origin, epilepsy is idiopathic (cryptogenic, essential, genetic) or symptomatic (acquired, organic). On the basis of clinical and electroencephalographic phenomenon, four subdivisions are recognised: 1. Grand mal epilepsy (major epilepsy, haut mal epilepsy) subgroups: generalised, focal (localised), jacksonian (rolandic) 2. Petit mal epilepsy 3. Psychomotor epilepsy (temporal lobe epilepsy, psychic, psychic equivalent or variant) subgroups: psychomotor proper (tonic with adversive or torsion movements or masticatory phenomena), automatic (with amnesia) and sensory (hallucinations or dream states or d굁. Vu) 4. Autonomic epilepsy (diencephalic), with flushing, pallor, tachycardia, hypertension, perspiration or other visceral symptoms. Synonym: epilepsia. Origin: Gr. Epilepsia = seizure (14 May 1997) |
| epilepsia partialis continua | Focal motor status epilepticus characterised by high fever, delirium, localised muscular spasms and generalised convulsion, then clonic twitching of one group of muscles at regular intervals (seconds apart) lasting for hours or months, remaining localised. These continue throughout sleep, possibly at a reduced rate. (12 Dec 1998) |
