Synonym: articulatio fibrosa, immovable joint, junctura fibrosa, synarthrodia, synarthrodial joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans | Obstruction of bronchioles and alveolar ducts by fibrous granulation tissue induced by mucosal ulceration; the condition may follow inhalation of irritant gases (see silo-filler's lung) or may complicate pneumonia (see BOOP); associated with obstructive findings (see unilateral hyperlucent lung, Swyer-James syndrome). Synonym: bronchiolitis obliterans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula fibrosa | Any fibrous envelope of a part. The fibrous capsule of an organ. Synonym: stratum fibrosum, tunica fibrosa, capsula fibrosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula fibrosa glandulae thyroideae | The fibrous sheath of the thyroid gland. Synonym: capsula fibrosa glandulae thyroideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula fibrosa perivascularis | A layer of connective tissue ensheathing the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts as these ramify within the liver. Synonym: capsula fibrosa perivascularis, perivascular fibrous capsule. Connective tissue capsule surrounding the outer surface of the liver, but continuous with septae of some animals which divide parenchyme into lobule, and with the perivascular fibrous capsule at the porta hepatis. Synonym: tunica fibrosa hepatis, Glisson's capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula fibrosa renis | A fibrous membrane ensheathing the kidney. Synonym: capsula fibrosa renis, tunica fibrosa renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vagina fibrosa tendinis | fibrous tendon sheath |
| cataracta fibrosa | Congenital cataract in which the degenerated lens is replaced with mesodermal tissue. Synonym: cataracta adiposa, cataracta fibrosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal osteitis fibrosa | renal rickets |
| membrana fibrosa | The outer fibrous part of the capsule of a synovial joint, which may in places be thickened to form capsular ligaments. Synonym: membrana fibrosa, stratum fibrosum, fibrous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multifocal osteitis fibrosa | The occurrence of lesions of fibrous dysplasia in multiple bones, commonly on one side of the body; may occur with areas of pigmentation and endocrine dysfunction (McCune-Albright syndrome). Synonym: multifocal osteitis fibrosa, osteitis fibrosa disseminata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| osteitis fibrosa | <radiology> Secondary to hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphataemia followed by increased parathormone production, subperiosteal bone resorption, radial aspect of phalanges, distal clavicle, medial tibia plateau, medial humerus neck, distal ulna, phalangeal tufts, lamina dura of teeth, subchondral and subligamentous bone resorption, widening of symphysis pubis, SI joints, resorption of ischial tuberosity, spotty deossification of the skull (wooly, salt and pepper), metaphyseal fractures, slipped epiphyses, brown tumour and chondocalcinosis, more common in primary hyperparathyroidism see: renal osteodystrophy (12 Dec 1998) |
| osteitis fibrosa circumscripta | Fibrous dysplasia of a single bone. Synonym: localised osteitis fibrosa, osteitis fibrosa circumscripta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| osteitis fibrosa cystica | Rarefying osteitis with fibrous degeneration and formation of cysts, and with the presence of fibrous nodules on the affected bones. It is due to marked osteoclastic activity secondary to hyperfunction of the parathyroid glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
