| hypertrophic pyloric stenosis | <radiology> Not seen until 3 weeks, projectile vomiting, palpable olive in RUQ/epigastrium (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| hypertrophic rhinitis | Chronic rhinitis with permanent thickening of the mucous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertrophic rosacea | A manifestation of severe acne rosacea resulting in significant enlargement of the nose and occurring primarily in men. It is caused by hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands and surrounding connective tissue. The nose is reddened and marked with numerous telangiectasias. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypertrophic scar | An elevated scar resembling a keloid but which does not spread into surrounding tissues, is rarely painful, and regresses spontaneously; collagen bundles run parallel to the skin surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis | <cardiology> A congenital heart disease that results in abnormal thickening of the ventricular septum and left ventricular wall. Enlargement of the ventricular septum can result in ventricular outflow obstruction (subaortic stenosis) and eventual cardiomyopathy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| osteoarthropathy, primary hypertrophic | A conditioned chiefly characterised by thickening of the skin of the head and distal extremities, deep folds and furrows of the skin of the forehead, cheeks, and scalp, seborrhoea, hyperhidrosis, periostosis of the long bones, digital clubbing, and spadelike enlargement of the hands and feet. It is more prevalent in the male, and is usually first evident during adolescence. It is believed to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. (12 Dec 1998) |
| osteoarthropathy, secondary hypertrophic | Symmetrical osteitis of the four limbs, chiefly localised to the phalanges and the terminal epiphyses of the long bones of the forearm and leg, sometimes extending to the proximal ends of the limbs and the flat bones, and accompanied by dorsal kyphosis and joint involvement. It is often secondary to chronic conditions of the lungs and heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy | Familial occurrence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy exhibiting an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Familial cardiomyopathy of various kinds occurs with autosomal dominant inheritance. There is also an asymmetrical form affecting the ventricles and the interventricular septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar duct emphysema | Emphysema in which the primary involvement is in the alveolar ducts and respiratory bronchioles, as opposed to panacinar emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bullous emphysema | Emphysema in which the enlarged airspaces are one to several cm in diameter, often visible on chest radiographs. Thin-walled air sacs under tension compress pulmonary tissue, either single or multiple. Sometimes amenable to surgical resection with improvement in pulmonary function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gangrenous emphysema | <microbiology> A severe form of gangrene (tissue necrosis) caused by Clostridium infection. Also referred to as necrotising subcutaneous infection. Results in death of the subcutaneous tissues and muscle layers. See: necrotising fascitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| panacinar emphysema | Emphysema affecting all parts of the lobules, in part, or usually the whole, of the lungs, and usually associated with a1-antiprotease deficiency emphysema. Synonym: diffuse emphysema, generalised emphysema, panacinar emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| panlobular emphysema | Emphysema affecting all parts of the lobules, in part, or usually the whole, of the lungs, and usually associated with a1-antiprotease deficiency emphysema. Synonym: diffuse emphysema, generalised emphysema, panacinar emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| generalised emphysema | Emphysema affecting all parts of the lobules, in part, or usually the whole, of the lungs, and usually associated with a1-antiprotease deficiency emphysema. Synonym: diffuse emphysema, generalised emphysema, panacinar emphysema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraseptal emphysema | Emphysema involving the periphery of the pulmonary lobules. (05 Mar 2000) |
