| nutritional polyneuropathy | A disorder of multiple peripheral nerves, noted in beriberi, chronic alcoholism, and other clinical states, resulting from thiamin deficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| nutritional status | State of the body in relation to the consumption and utilization of nutrients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nutritional support | The administration of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient by means other than normal eating. It does not include fluid therapy which normalises body fluids to restore water-electrolyte balance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior cerebellar notch | A wide, shallow notch on the anterior surface of the cerebellum occupied laterally by the superior cerebellar peduncles and the inferior quadrigeminal bodies medially. Synonym: anterior notch of cerebellum, incisura cerebelli anterior, semilunar notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior inferior cerebellar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, lower surface of lateral lobes of cerebellum, choroid plexus in cerebellopontine angle; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar; usual source of labyrinthine artery. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar | <anatomy> Pertaining to the cerebellum. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cerebellar arteries | An artery related to and supplying the cerebellum. See: anterior inferior cerebellar artery, posterior inferior cerebellar artery, superior cerebellar artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar astrocytoma | <oncology, tumour> This primary brain tumour of the cerebellum accounts for 10 to 30% of brain tumours in children. The are usually slow growing and benign. Symptoms include gait problems, clumsiness, headache and vomiting. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebellar ataxia | Loss of muscle coordination caused by disorders of the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cortex | The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of Purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum. Synonym: cortex cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cyst | A cyst usually occurring in the lateral cerebellar white matter; often a part of cerebellar astrocytoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar dyssynergia | <neurology> A condition marked by generalised intention tremors associated with disturbance of muscle tone and of muscular coordination, caused by a disorder of cerebellar function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellar fissures | The deep furrows which divide the lobules of the cerebellum. See: postcentral fissure, primary fissure of cerebellum, secondary fissure of cerebellum. Synonym: fissurae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar fossa | The large concave impressions on the inner surface of the occipital bone on either side of the foramen magnum and internal occipital crest, housing the cerebellar hemispheres; a part of the posterior cranial fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
