| Valsalva's sinus | The space between the superior aspect of each cusp of the aortic valve and the dilated portion of the wall of the ascending aorta, immediately above each cusp. Synonym: sinus aortae, Petit's sinus, Valsalva's sinus. Arlt's sinus, an inconstant depression on the lower portion of the internal surface of the lacrimal sac. Barber's pilonidal sinus, pilonidal sinus occurring in barbers, usually in the web between the fingers, due to the burying of exogenous hairs by the alternate loosening and tightening of tissues of the hand by the manipulation of scissors.

| carotid-cavernous sinus fistula | <radiology> Aetiology: laceration of ICA within cavernous sinus; usually secondary to basal skull fractures or penetrating trauma, rupture of an intracavernous ICA aneurysm symptoms: chemosis, conjunctival oedema, bruit findings: focal or diffuse enlargement of cavernous sinus, edematous extraocular muscles, arterial enlargement (pulsating exophthalamus), dilation of superior ophthalmic, facial, and internal jugular veins, occasional sellar erosion/enlargement, enlargement of superior orbital fissure (chronic phase) (12 Dec 1998) |
| carotid sinus | <anatomy> A slight dilation in the carotid artery at its bifurcation into the external and internal carotid arteries, it contains baroreceptors (pressure sensors) that when stimulated, will cause a reflex slowing of the heart, vasodilation and a fall in blood pressure.

| carotid sinus reflex | A normal reflex relating to the carotid sinus syndrome, which results from hypersensitivity or hyperactivation of the carotid sinus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carotid sinus syncope | <cardiology> Syncope which results from the over activity of the carotid sinus. Attacks may be spontaneous or produced by pressure on the carotid sinus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carotid sinus syndrome | <syndrome> Stimulation of a hyperactive carotid sinus, causing a marked fall in blood pressure due to vasodilation, cardiac slowing, or both; syncope with or without convulsions or A-V block may occur. Synonym: Charcot-Weiss-Baker syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
