| descending neuritis | Inflammation progressing downward along a nerve trunk in a direction toward the periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| interstitial neuritis | Inflammation of the connective tissue framework of a nerve. Synonym: Eichhorst's neuritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intraocular neuritis | Inflammation of the retinal portion of the optic nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital neuritis | See: posttraumatic neck syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| optic neuritis | <pathology> Inflammation of the optic nerve. This may occur secondary to a wide variety of causes: multiple sclerosis, posterior uveitis, vascular lesions of the optic nerve (interruption of blood supply to the optic nerve), temporal arteritis, central retinal artery occlusion, methyl alcohol poisoning, drug side effects and acute demyelinative disease of the optic nerves (destruction of optic nerve sheath). (27 Sep 1997) |
| Eichhorst's neuritis | Inflammation of the connective tissue framework of a nerve. Synonym: Eichhorst's neuritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| toxic neuritis | Neuritis caused by an endogenous or exogenous toxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endemic neuritis | <disease> An endemic form of polyneuritis (nerve inflammation), due to an unbalanced diet, with a deficiency of vitamin B1(thiamin). Common in those who chronically abuse alcohol. (11 Jan 1998) |
| traumatic neuritis | Nerve lesion following an injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fallopian neuritis | Paralysis of the facial muscles, usually unilateral, due to either a lesion involving the nucleus or the facial nerve peripheral to the nucleus (peripheral facial paralysis) or a supranuclear lesion in the cerebrum or upper brainstem (central facial paralysis). With latter, facial weakness is usually partial and the upper portion of the face is relatively spared, due to bilateral cortical connections. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Leyden's neuritis | Fatty degeneration of the fibres of the affected nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adipose degeneration | Abnormal formation of microscopically visible droplets of fat in the cytoplasm of cells, as a result of injury. Synonym: adipose degeneration, steatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adiposogenital degeneration | A disorder characterised primarily by obesity and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in adolescent boys; dwarfism is rare, and when present is thought to reflect hypothyroidism. Visual loss, behavioural abnormalities, and diabetes insipidus may occur. Frohlich's syndrome often is used synonymously for this disorder, although the original case involved a pituitary tumour; most cases are thought to result from hypothalamic dysfunction in areas regulating appetite and gonadal development. The most common causes are pituitary and hypothalamic neoplasms. Synonym: adiposis orchica, adiposogenital degeneration, adiposogenital dystrophy, adiposogenital syndrome, hypophysial syndrome, hypothalamic obesity with hypogonadism. Origin: L. Fr. G. Dys-, bad, + trophe, nourishment (05 Mar 2000) |
| age-related macular degeneration | A common macular degeneration beginning with drusen of the macula and pigment disruption and sometimes leading to severe loss of central vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| albuminous degeneration | An obsolete terms for cloudy swelling. (05 Mar 2000) |
