| angiodynography | <investigation> A diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to image arteries and veins. Sometimes referred to as colour flow Doppler because the arteries will appear as red on the screen and the veins will be blue. Useful in the determination of the vascular obstruction. (27 Sep 1997) |
| angiodysgenetic myelomalacia | A disorder of the lower spinal cord in adult males resulting in progressive paraplegia. Synonym: angiodysgenetic myelomalacia, Foix-Alajouanine myelitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiodysplasia | <radiology> Incidence: 2% at autopsy, 22% associated with other benign/malignant disease, vascular tufts along ANTI-mesenteric border of caecum (12 Dec 1998) |
| angiodystrophy | Defective formation or growth associated with marked vascular changes. Origin: angio-+ G. Dys-, bad, + trophe, nourishment (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioedema | A vascular reaction involving the deep dermis or subcutaneous or submucal tissues, representing localised oedema caused by dilatation and increased permeability of the capillaries and characterised by development of giant wheals. (18 Nov 1997) |
| angioedema, hereditary | A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioneurotic oedema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| angioelephantiasis | Extensive increase in vascularity of the subcutaneous tissue, producing great thickening simulating large, diffuse angioma formation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| angiofibroma | <oncology, tumour> A benign tumour of the posterior nasopharynx that is most common in adolescent boys. Symptoms repeated epistaxis, nasal congestion, nasal discharge and hearing loss. A skull X-ray or a CT scan of the head can confirm the presence of an angiofibroma. Treatment may include the surgical removal of the lesion if it is enlarging or blocking the airway. (27 Sep 1997) |
| angiofibrosis | Fibrosis of the walls of blood vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia | Solitary masses of lymphoid tissue containing concentric perivascular aggregates of lymphocytes, occurring usually in the mediastinum or hilar region of young adults; similar changes have been reported outside the mediastinum and, if associated with interfollicular sheets of plasma cells, may progress to lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Synonym: angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia, Castleman's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiofraphy | <anatomy> A description of blood vessels and lymphatics. Origin: Angio-: cf. F. Angiographie. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| angiogenesis | The process of vascularisation of a tissue involving the development of new capillary blood vessels. (18 Nov 1997) |
