| 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) |
| ebstein anomaly | <radiology> Tricuspid valve: abnormal formation and insertion, usually tricuspid insufficiency, right atrial enlargement (if severe, box-like heart), decreased pulmonary vascularity, cyanosis, severe at birth, mild in later childhood, angio: to-and-fro motion of contrast between RA and atrialised RV (12 Dec 1998) |
| ebstein's anomaly | Congenital downward displacement of the tricuspid valve with the septal and posterior leaflets being attached to the wall of the right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
