|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 출생전, 출생시 혹은 출생후의 뇌의 선천기형, 손상 혹은 중추신경계의 병에 의해서 영구적이며, 비진행성인 운동신경 및 정신장애를 일으키는 경우를 뜻한다. 원인은 여러 가지가 있을 수 있으나 조산으로 인한 뇌의 산소공급의 부족, 또는 난산으로 인한 호흡장애 등이 흔한 원인이다. 증상은 대개 비진행성의 뇌 병변으로 인한 운동장애가 대표적인 증상이며 그외에 청력, 시력의 장애, 지능부전, 언어장애, 경련 및 정신장애 등이 동반될 수 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 외부에서 기원하는 물리적 충격에 의한 뇌의 물리적 손상. |

| 영문 | cerebral concussion | 한글 | 뇌진탕 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 외부에서 기원하는 물리적 충격으로 인해 뇌의 물리적 손상없이 일어나는 뇌의 기능 장애. 일시적으로 무의식, 반사소실, 등이 나타나지만 결국은 아무 후유증없이 정상으로 돌아온다. |

| 영문 | cerebral cortex | 한글 | 대뇌겉질 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 표면부위를 대뇌겉질이라고도 한다. 대개 얕은회색질(superficial gray matter)와 동의어로 쓰인다. 회색질이란 대뇌의 표면에 신경세포가 모여있는 곳으로 회색을 띠는 부분을 말한다. 이와는 대조적으로 백색질이란 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 분포하는 곳이며 대뇌에서 회색질의 안쪽에 존재한다. 참고로 말하면 척수에서는 대뇌와 반대로 회색질 안쪽에 존재하고 백색질이 밖에 존재한다. 즉 척수에서는 신경세포가 척수의 안쪽에 존재하고 바깥쪽에 그 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 존재한다. |

| retrograde embolism | Embolism of a vein by an embolus carried in a direction opposite to that of the normal blood current, after being diverted into a smaller vein. Synonym: venous embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| riding embolism | Embolism occurring at the bifurcation of an artery and blocking more or less completely both branches. Synonym: riding embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholesterol embolism | Embolism of lipid debris from an ulcerated atheromatous deposit, generally from a large artery to small arterial branches; it is usually small and rarely causes infarction. Synonym: atheroma embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| miliary embolism | Embolism occurring simultaneously in a number of capillaries. Synonym: multiple embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple embolism | Embolism caused by the arrest of a number of small emboli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton-fibre embolism | Embolism by cotton fibres from sterile gauze used in intravenous medication or transfusion; may form as foreign body granulomas in small pulmonary arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crossed embolism | Passage of a clot (thrombus) from a vein to an artery. When clots in veins break off (embolise) , they travel first to the right side of the heart and, normally, then to the lungs where they lodge. The lungs act as a filter to prevent the clots from entering the arterial circulation. However, when there is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart (an atrial septal defect), a clot can crossparadoxically from the right to the left side of the heart, then pass into the arteries. Once in the arterial circulation, a clot can travel to the brain, block a vessel there, and cause a stroke (cerebrovascular accident). Because of the risk of stroke from crossed embolism, it is usually recommended that even small atrial septal defects be closed (repaired). Also called: paradoxical embolism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haematogenous embolism | Embolism occurring in a blood vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| saddle embolism | A straddling embolism at any vascular bifurcation, e.g., of the aorta which occludes both common iliac arteries. Synonym: pantaloon embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary embolism | <cardiology> The lodgment of a blood clot in the lumen of a pulmonary artery, causing a severe dysfunction in respiratory function. Pulmonary emboli often have origin in the veins of the lower extremities where clots form in the deep leg veins and then travel to the lungs via the venous circulation. Symptoms and features include acute onset of shortness of breath, chest pain (worse with breathing) and rapid heart rate and respiratory rate. Some individuals may have haemoptysis. Diagnosis can be made on a ventilation perfusion scan of the lung or on a pulmonary angiogram. (15 Dec 1997) |
| pulmonary embolism: findings | <radiology> Embolism without infarction (90%), normal chest (25%), platelike atelactasis, Westermark sign, knuckle sign, local widening of artery by impacted embolus, segmental / lobar consolidation, pleural effusion embolism with infarction (10%), wedge-shaped consolidation (50%), may cavitate, Hampton hump, pleural effusion (50%), no air-bronchogram, melting sign, Fleischner lines, platelike atelactasis (25%), cardiomegaly / congestive heart failure (20%), elevated hemidiaphragm (20%) see: pulmonary embolism (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyaemic embolism | Plugging of an artery by an embolus detached from a suppurating thrombus. Synonym: infective embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| straddling embolism | Embolism occurring at the bifurcation of an artery and blocking more or less completely both branches. Synonym: riding embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct embolism | Embolism occurring in the direction of the blood current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infective embolism | Plugging of an artery by an embolus detached from a suppurating thrombus. Synonym: infective embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
