| chondrodynia | <symptom> Pain in and around cartilage. (15 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| chondrodysplasia | <embryology, orthopaedics> A disturbance in the development of cartilage, primarily the long bones. This can result in arrested growth and dwarfism. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (15 Jan 1998) |
| chondrodysplasia punctata | A heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias, the common character of which is stippling of the epiphyses in infancy. The group includes a severe autosomal recessive form (chondrodysplasia punctata, rhizomelic), an autosomal dominant form (conradi-hunermann syndrome), and a milder x-linked form. Metabolic defects associated with impaired peroxisomes are present only in the rhizomelic form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chondrodysplasia punctata, rhizomelic | An autosomal recessive form of chondrodysplasia punctata characterised by defective plasmalogen biosynthesis and impaired peroxisomes. Patients have shortened proximal limbs and severely disturbed endochondrial bone formation. The metabolic defects associated with the impaired peroxisomes are present only in the rhizomelic form of chondrodysplasia punctata. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chondrodystrophia | <embryology, orthopaedics> A disturbance in the development of cartilage, primarily the long bones. This can result in arrested growth and dwarfism. (15 Jan 1998) |
| chondrodystrophia calcificans congenita | A developmental error of the epiphyses characterised by severe deformities, epiphyses ossified from several discrete centres and with a stippled appearance, and thickened shafts of the long bones; congenital cataract and mental retardation are often present. There is an autosomal dominant form and an autosomal recessive form. Synonym: chondrodysplasia punctata, chondrodystrophia calcificans congenita, hypoplastic foetal chondrodystrophy, stippled epiphysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondrodystrophia congenita punctata | Congenital shortening of the humerus and femur, with stippled epiphyses, high-arched palate, cataracts, erythroderma in the newborn, and scaling followed by follicular atrophoderma; there is also an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern . Synonym: chondrodystrophia congenita punctata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondrodystrophic dwarfism | See: chondrodystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondrodystrophy | A disturbance in the development of cartilage, primarily the long bones. This can result in arrested growth and dwarfism. (27 Sep 1997) |
| chondroectodermal | Relating to ectodermally derived cartilage; e.g., branchial cartilages that may have developed from the neural crest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondroectodermal dysplasia | Triad of chondrodysplasia, ectodermal dysplasia, and polydactyly, with congenital heart defects in over half of patients; autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondrofibroma | <radiology> Benign metaphyseal lesion, young adults (60% less than 30 years of age), lytic lesion with well-defined margin, diaphysis of long bone, proximal TIBIA (especially tubercle) most common, NO calcification Differential diagnosis: bubbly bone lesions (12 Dec 1998) |
| chondrogenesis | Formation of cartilage. Synonym: chondrosis. Origin: chondro-+ G. Genesis, origin (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondroglossus | See: chondroglossus muscle. Origin: chondro-+ G. Glossa, tongue (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondroglossus muscle | <anatomy> Muscular fibres from lesser horn of hyoid bone occasionally separated from the hyoglossus, but usually forming part of it. Synonym: musculus chondroglossus, ceratoglossus, keratoglossus. (05 Mar 2000) |
