| agenesis of corpus callosum | <radiology> Defect in dorsal portion of lamina reuniens, occurs about 10th - 12th week of gestation, may be complete or partial CT findings: parallel lateral ventricles, occipital horns dilated, deep falx, frontal horns C-shaped on coronal view associated with, Dandy-Walker cyst, encephalocele, Arnold-Chiari malformation, CNS lipoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| atretic corpus luteum | A retrogressed corpus luteum characterised by increasing cicatrization and shrinkage of the cicatricial core with an amorphous, convoluted, completely hyalinised lutein zone surrounding the central plug of scar tissue. Synonym: albicans, atretic corpus luteum, corpus candicans. Corpora allata, a pair of juvenile hormone-producing endocrine glands located near the brain in insects; action of the juvenile hormone is interrelated with that of brain hormone and ecdysone; a high concentration of the hormone at the time of molting will cause production of an additional larval instar; removal at an early larval stage causes precocious pupation, resulting in the formation of a midget adult; implantation at late larval stages can cause development of an oversized adult.
