| 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) |
| van der Hoeve's syndrome | <syndrome> A subtype of osteogenesis imperfecta in which progressive conductive hearing loss begins in childhood because of stapedial fixation. (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.

| Raeder's paratrigeminal syndrome | <syndrome> A postganglionic Horner's syndrome associated with trigeminal nerve dysfunction caused by involvement of the carotid sympathetic plexus, near Mechel' cave. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ganser's syndrome | <syndrome> A psychotic-like condition, without the symptoms and signs of a traditional psychosis, occurring typically in prisoners who feign insanity; e.g., such a person, when asked to multiply 6 by 4, will give 23 as the answer, or he will call a key a lock. See: malingering, factitious disorder. Synonym: nonsense syndrome, syndrome of approximate relevant answers, syndrome of deviously relevant answers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gardner-Diamond syndrome | <syndrome> A condition, usually occurring in women, in which the individual bruises easily (purpura simplex) and the ecchymoses tend to enlarge and involve adjacent tissues, resulting in pain in the affected parts; so-called because similar lesions are produced by inoculation of the individual's blood or various components of red blood cells and it is thought to be a form of localised autosensitization, although no specific antibodies have been demonstrable; in some individuals, there seems to be a psychogenic mechanism. Synonym: Gardner-Diamond syndrome, psychogenic purpura. (05 Mar 2000) |

| gareis-mason syndrome | <syndrome> An inherited (genetic) syndrome with characteristic features including (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). The syndrome is inherited as an X-linked trait and so affects mainly boys. Alternative names include MASA syndrome (MASA stands for mental retardation, aphasia, shuffling gait, and adducted thumbs), clasped thumb and mental retardation, congenital clasped thumb with mental retardation, and adducted thumb with mental retardation.
