| intracranial pneumocele | A collection of gas within the skull, in the brain, or in the meninges. Synonym: intracranial pneumocele. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| intracranial pressure | <physiology> The pressure the cerebrospinal fluid exerts on the brain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
| allergic granulomatous angiitis | <syndrome> Widespread necrotizing angiitis with granulomas. Pulmonary involvement is frequent. Asthma or other respiratory infection may precede evidence of vasculitis. Eosinophilia and lung involvement differentiate this disease from polyarteritis nodosa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteritis | <pathology> Inflammation of an artery. See: cranial arteritis, giant cell arteritis. (20 Jun 2000) |
| arteritis nodosa | <radiology> Necrotizing vasculitis of medium-sized arteries, usually in male adults, associated with hepatitis B antigen, kidney: most frquently involved organ (85%), multiple small intrarenal aneurysms, aneurysms may disappear (thrombosis) or appear in new locations, arterial narrowing and thrombosis (chronic/healing stage), multiple small cortical infarcts, associated with hypertension and renal failure, chest involvement (70%), cardiomegaly/pericardial effusion (14%), wedge shaped/round peripheral infiltrates simulating PE (14%), interstitial lower lung field pneumonitis, also may involve liver (66%), mesenteric vessels (50%), skeletal muscle (39%), skin (20%) (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteritis obliterans | Obliterating endarteritis, an extreme degree of endarteritis proliferans closing the lumen of the artery. Synonym: arteritis obliterans, obliterating arteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteritis virus | A genus that is currently unclassified, arterivirus is likely to be part of coronaviridae or a new family. It was previously classified under togaviridae. The type species is arteritis virus, equine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brachiocephalic arteritis | Giant-cell arteritis seen in older adults; characterised by inflammatory lesions in medium sized arteries, most commonly in the head, neck and/or shoulder girdle area; lesions include fragmented elastin, macrophages, and giant cells. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is usually markedly elevated. Visual loss can occur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| giant cell arteritis | <pathology> An inflammatory condition of the temporal artery. It is a serious chronic vascular disease, characterised by inflammation of the walls of the blood vessels (vasculitis). The age of affected patients is usually over 50 years of age. It most often involves the carotid artery system, and can lead to blindness or stroke. It can be diagnosed by biopsy of an artery, but there is often a false negative result. Elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is typical. Treatment is with high dose steroids. Common symptoms include headaches and tenderness over the temple (temporal artery). Can be associated with polymyalgia rheumatica. See: polymyalgia rheumatica. Synonym: cranial arteritis, temporal arteritis (20 Jun 2000) |
| regional granulomatous lymphadenitis | <disease> A self-limiting bacterial infection of the regional lymph nodes (lymphadenitis) caused by afipia felis, a gram-negative bacterium recently identified as bartonella henselae. It usually arises one or more weeks following a feline scratch, with raised inflammatory nodules at the site of the scratch being the primary symptom. It results in tender and enlarged lymph glands above the site of injury. A chronic benign adenopathy, especially in children and young adults, commonly associated with a recent cat scratch or bite and caused by bacteria including Bartonella henselae and Alipia felis; the lymphadenopathy usually resolves spontaneously within a period of several months, but complications involving central nervous system, liver, spleen, lung, and skin have been seen. Synonym: benign inoculation lymphoreticulosis, benign inoculation reticulosis, cat-scratch fever, regional granulomatous lymphadenitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatic arteritis | Arteritis due to rheumatic fever; Aschoff bodies are frequently found in the adventitia of small arteries, especially in the myocardium, and may lead to fibrosis and constriction of the lumens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatoid arteritis | Coronary arteritis associated with rheumatoid arthritis; aortitis with aortic valve incompetence accompanying ankylosing spondylitis may be related. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulomatous | Having the characteristics of a granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
