| Pelger-Huet nuclear anomaly | Congenital inhibition of lobulation in the nuclei of neutrophilic leukocytes; most cells present band or bilobulate appearance, and only an occasional cell is trilobed; it is not associated with disease, but may be confused with leukocyte "shift to left"; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Chediak-Steinbrinck-Higashi anomaly | <syndrome> An autosomal recessive disorder characterised by the presence of giant lysosomal vesicles in phagocytes and in consequence poor bactericidal function due to deficient secretion of myeloperoxidase by lysosomes. There is some perturbation of microtubule dynamics. There are abnormalities of granulation and nuclear structure of all types of leukocytes with malformation of peroxidase-positive granules, cytoplasmic inclusions, and Dohle bodies, often with hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, anaemia, thrombocytopenia, roentgenologic changes of bones, lungs and heart, skin and psychomotor abnormalities, and susceptibility to infection. The condition usually results in death in childhood, before the age of 10. Reported from humans, albino Hereford cattle, mink, beige mice and killer whale. Compare: chronic granulomatous disease. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: Beguez Cesar disease, Chediak-Higashi disease, Chediak-Steinbrinck-Higashi anomaly. (21 May 1997) |
| Rieger's anomaly | Mesodermal dysgenesis of cornea and iris, producing pupillary anomalies, posterior embryotoxon, and secondary glaucoma. Synonym: Rieger's anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Peters' anomaly | <syndrome> A congenital disorder originating from faulty separation of embryonic structures; it results in bilateral central corneal opacities, with an anterior ring attachment of the iridic pupillary border and anterior polar cataracts; associated with short-limbed dwarfism; autosomal dominant inheritance. See: iridocorneal endothelial syndrome. Synonym: Peters' anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| morning glory anomaly | <ophthalmology, syndrome> A congenital anomaly of the optic disk in which there is a funnel-shaped hypoplastic optic nerve, which has a dot of white tissue at the centre, surrounded by an elevated anulus of chorioretinal pigment. The retinal vessels seen are multiple narrow bands at the edge of the disk. (22 Sep 2002) |
| Hegglin's anomaly | A disorder in which neutrophils and eosinophils contain basophilic structures known as Dohle or Amato bodies and in which there is faulty maturation of platelets, with thrombocytopenia; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym: May-Hegglin anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Shone's anomaly | Coarctation of the aorta, subaortic stenosis, and stenosing ring of the left atrium found in association with a parachute mitral valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| developmental anomaly | An anomaly established during intrauterine life; a congenital anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eugnathic anomaly | An abnormality that is limited to the teeth and their immediate alveolar supports. Synonym: eugnathic anomaly. Origin: eu-+ G. Gnathos, jaw (05 Mar 2000) |
| Uhl anomaly | Right ventricular myocardial aplasia, causing a dilated, thin-walled right ventricle without murmurs; death results in early childhood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Freund's anomaly | A narrowing of the upper aperture of the thorax by shortening of the first rib and its cartilage; formerly believed to predispose to tuberculosis because of defective expansion of the lung apex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial angle | The prominent angle at the junction of the posterior and lateral borders of the acromion. Synonym: angulus acromialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute angle | Any angle less than 90 |
| acute angle closure glaucoma | <ophthalmology> An increase in pressure within the anterior chamber of the eye. There are two forms of glaucoma: acute angle closure and open angle glaucoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adjacent angle | An angle with a line in common with another angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
