| cavernous body of clitoris | One of the two parallel columns of erectile tissue forming the body of the clitoris; they diverge at the root to form the crura of the clitoris. Synonym: cavernous body of clitoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cavernous body of penis | One of two parallel columns of erectile tissue forming the dorsal part of the body of the penis; they are separated posteriorly, forming the crura of the penis. Synonym: cavernous body of penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous branch of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the cavernous part of the internal carotid artery supplying the walls of the cavernous sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous groove | The groove on the body of the sphenoid bone in which the internal carotid artery lies in its course through the cavernous sinus. Synonym: sulcus caroticus, carotid sulcus, cavernous groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous haemangioma | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. most are usually painless and benign. Some lesions (cavernous haemangiomas) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark. (16 Mar 1998) |
| cavernous haemangioma of liver | <radiology> Ultrasound: increased echogenicity, CT: decreased density, enhances from periphery, becomes isodense, may enlarge during pregnancy, in kids: most common benign liver tumour, increased morbidity/mortality, classic triad: hepatomegaly, cut. Haemangiomas, congestive heart failure, with or without liver bruit, may rupture leading to haemoperitoneum, may regress spontaneously (as may haemangioendothelioma) (12 Dec 1998) |
| cavernous lymphangiectasis | A condition of conspicuous dilation of lymphatic vessels in a fairly circumscribed region, frequently with the formation of cavities or "lakes" filled with lymph. Synonym: cavernous lymphangiectasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous nerves of clitoris | Nerves corresponding to the cavernous nerves of penis in the male, arising from the vesicular portion of the pelvic plexus. Synonym: nervi cavernosi clitoridis, cavernous plexus of clitoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous nerves of penis | Two nerves, major and minor, derived from the prostatic portion of the pelvic plexus supplying sympathetic and parasympathetic fibres to the helicine arteries and arteriorvenous anastomoses of the corpus cavernosum stimulating erection. Synonym: nervi cavernosi penis, cavernous plexus of penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous part of internal carotid artery | <anatomy, artery> The tortuous portion of the internal carotid artery located within the cavernous sinus; it has numerous small branches. Synonym: pars cavernosa arteriae carotidis internae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous plexus of clitoris | Nerves corresponding to the cavernous nerves of penis in the male, arising from the vesicular portion of the pelvic plexus. Synonym: nervi cavernosi clitoridis, cavernous plexus of clitoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous plexus of conchae | Erectile tissue in the mucous membrane covering the conchae of the nasal cavity. Synonym: plexus cavernosi concharum, corpus cavernosum conchae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous plexus of penis | Two nerves, major and minor, derived from the prostatic portion of the pelvic plexus supplying sympathetic and parasympathetic fibres to the helicine arteries and arteriorvenous anastomoses of the corpus cavernosum stimulating erection. Synonym: nervi cavernosi penis, cavernous plexus of penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous rale | A resonating, bubbling sound caused by air entering a cavity partly filled with fluid. Synonym: cavernous rhonchus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous resonance | A percussion sound, like that produced by striking a large empty bottle, obtained by percussing over a pulmonary cavity. Synonym: cavernous resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
