| cephalic tetanus | A type of local tetanus that follows wounds to the face and head; after a brief incubation (1-2 days) the facial and ocular muscles become paretic yet undergo repeated tetanic spasms. The throat and tongue muscles may also be affected. Synonym: cerebral tetanus, head tetanus, hydrophobic tetanus, rose cephalic tetanus, Rose's cephalic tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral tetanus | A type of local tetanus that follows wounds to the face and head; after a brief incubation (1-2 days) the facial and ocular muscles become paretic yet undergo repeated tetanic spasms. The throat and tongue muscles may also be affected. Synonym: cerebral tetanus, head tetanus, hydrophobic tetanus, rose cephalic tetanus, Rose's cephalic tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rose cephalic tetanus | A type of local tetanus that follows wounds to the face and head; after a brief incubation (1-2 days) the facial and ocular muscles become paretic yet undergo repeated tetanic spasms. The throat and tongue muscles may also be affected. Synonym: cerebral tetanus, head tetanus, hydrophobic tetanus, rose cephalic tetanus, Rose's cephalic tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complete tetanus | Tetanus in which stimuli to a particular muscle are repeated so rapidly that decrease of tension between stimuli cannot be detected. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postpartum tetanus | Tetanus occurring during the puerperium from infection of the obstetric wound. Synonym: postpartum tetanus, uterine tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| head tetanus | A type of local tetanus that follows wounds to the face and head; after a brief incubation (1-2 days) the facial and ocular muscles become paretic yet undergo repeated tetanic spasms. The throat and tongue muscles may also be affected. Synonym: cerebral tetanus, head tetanus, hydrophobic tetanus, rose cephalic tetanus, Rose's cephalic tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| neonatal tetanus | Tetanus occurring in newborn infants, usually due to infection of umbilical area with Clostridium tetani, often a result of ritualistic practices; has high fatality rate (about 60%). Synonym: neonatal tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine | A vaccine consisting of diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and pertussis vaccine. It is usually given to infants three times at two-month intervals, generally at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. In most cases the vaccine causes only a temporary fever and discomfort, but in a few cases serious neurological side effects have been observed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| drug tetanus | Tonic spasms caused by strychnine or other tetanic. Synonym: toxic tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| imitative tetanus | Conversion hysteria that resembles tetanus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incomplete tetanus | Tetanus in which each stimulus causes a contraction to be initiated when the muscle has only partly relaxed from the previous contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
