| intracranial tuberculoma | <neurology> A well-circumscribed mass found cortically or subcortically in the cerebral or cerebellar hemispheres. In under-developed countries where tuberculosis is endemic these lesions are quite common. Management of intracranial tuberculomas includes antituberculosis chemotherapy and neurosurgical evacuation of tuberculomas singly or in combination. (04 Jul 2000) |
| extracranial-intracranial bypass | A vascular shunt created by the anastomosis of an extracranial vessel to an intracranial vessel, usually, the superficial temporal artery to a cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aneurysmal bruit | A blowing murmur heard over an aneurysm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit | <cardiology, clinical sign> An unexpected audible swishing sound or murmur heard over an artery or vascular channel. Indicates increased turbulence often caused by a partial obstruction. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bruit de canon | The loud first heart sound heard intermittently in complete atrioventricular block and in interference-dissociation when the ventricles happen to contract shortly after the atria. Synonym: cannon sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit de claquement | The sound of cardiac clicks. See: click. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit de cuir neuf | The sound of new leather (also bruit de craquement); a creaking pericardial friction sound heard mainly in chronic pericarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit de diable | <cardiology, clinical sign> A brief or continuous noise originating from the neck veins that may be confused with cardiac murmurs, particularly with the continuous murmur of patent ductus arteriosus. Synonym: bruit de diable, nun's murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit de frolement | A rough, rustling sound made by a pleural or pericardial friction rub. Origin: Fr. Rustling (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit de galop | A triple cadence to the heart sounds; due to an abnormal third or fourth heart sound being heard in addition to the first and second sounds, and usually indicative of serious disease. Synonym: bruit de galop, cantering rhythm, gallop rhythm, Traube's bruit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bruit de la roue de moulin | A gurgling or splashing mill-wheel sounds heard when both fluid and air are present in the pericardial sac. Origin: Fr. Mill (05 Mar 2000) |

| bruit de Roger | A loud pansystolic murmur maximal at the left sternal border, caused by a small ventricular septal defect. Synonym: bruit de Roger, Roger's bruit. (05 Mar 2000) |
