| compression neuropathy | A focal nerve lesion produced when sustained pressure is applied to a localised portion of the nerve, either from an external or internal source; the main source of injury is the pressure differential that exists between one portion of the nerve and another.

| compression of brain | Pressure upon the intracranial tissues by an effusion of blood or cerebrospinal fluid, an abscess, a neoplasm, a depressed fracture of the skull, or an oedema of the brain. Synonym: compression of brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression of tissue | The property of tissue that permits it to be moved from an initial or relaxed position or form. Synonym: compression of tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression paralysis | Paralysis due to external presure on a nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression plating | A technique for internal fixation of fractures in which plates and screws are applied so as to produce compression of the line of fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression retinopathy | See: Berlin's oedema. See: traumatic retinopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression syndrome | Trauma and ischemia of soft tissues, principally skeletal muscle, due to prolonged severe crushing of the tissues, leading to increased permeability of the cell membrane and to the release of potassium, enzymes, and myoglobin from within cells. Ischemic renal dysfunction secondary to hypotension and diminished renal perfusion results in acute tubular necrosis and uraemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compression thrombosis | Thrombosis due to arrest of the circulation in a vessel by compression, as from a tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression wave | <radiobiology> Waves where the quantity which oscillates is the density of the medium, that is the medium at a given point alternately compresses and expands. Low-amplitude compression waves in air or water are commonly known as sound waves, shock waves are a high-amplitude form. Synonym: density wave. (13 Jan 1998) |
| compressive ear dressing | <otolaryngology> A thick (mound) dressing of soft gauze is applied over the ear and then a circular wrap is applied around the head. This is usually performed to prevent ear swelling that can result in cauliflower ear. (05 Jan 1998) |
| compressive myelopathy | Destruction of spinal cord tissue caused by pressure from neoplasms, haematomas, or other masses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressive nystagmus | A jerky nystagmus resulting from unilateral changes of pressure in saemicircular canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressive strength | The maximum compression a material can withstand without failure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compressor | 1. A muscle, contraction of which causes compression of any structure. 2. An instrument for making pressure on a part, especially on an artery to prevent loss of blood. Synonym: compressorium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressor muscle of lips | <anatomy> The "sucking muscle," a labial muscle formed by sagittal fibres running from the skin to the mucous membrane. Synonym: Aeby's muscle, Bovero's muscle, compressor muscle of lips, Klein's muscle, Krause's muscle, mucocutaneous muscle, musculus cutaneomucosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
