| CFPP | craniofacial pattern profile |
| CLIP | capitolunate instability pattern; corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide |
| Dp | pattern difference |
| EEGV1 | electroencephalographic variant pattern 1 |
| nutritional amblyopia | Amblyopia resulting from lack of vitamin B-complex constituents. (05 Mar 2000) |

| suppression amblyopia | The suppression of the central vision in one eye when the images from the two eyes are so different that they cannot be fused into one. This may be due to: 1) faulty image formation (sensory amblyopia); 2) a large difference in refraction between the two eyes (anisometropic amblyopia); or 3) the two eyes pointing in different directions (strabismic amblyopia). Most suppression amblyopia can be reversed if appropriately treated before age 6 years. Synonym: amblyopia ex anopsia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deprivation amblyopia | A suppression of central vision in one eye due to faulty image formation; for example, by a corneal scar, a cataract, or a droopy eyelid. Synonym: deprivation amblyopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| toxic amblyopia | Blindness due to optic neuritis caused by methyl alcohol, lead, arsenic, quinine, or other poisons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| airspace-filling pattern | Cloudy to dense opacities, obscuring vascular markings, on chest radiographs. Synonym: airspace-filling pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| airway pattern | Chest radiographic appearance of thickened bronchial walls, bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, or acinar consolidation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar pattern | Cloudy to dense opacities, obscuring vascular markings, on chest radiographs. Synonym: airspace-filling pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| A-pattern strabismus | Strabismus in which esotropia is more marked in looking upward than downward, strabismus in which exotropia is more marked on looking downward than upward. Synonym: A-pattern strabismus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axial pattern flap | A flap that includes a direct specific artery within its longitudinal axis. Synonym: arterial flap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ballerina-foot pattern | A vigorous posteromedial contraction of the left ventricle coupled with convexity anteriorly sometimes resulting from poor contraction of the opposing anterior wall; it is the most frequent dyssynergy observed in the prolapsed mitral valve leaflet syndrome (even with a normal anterior wall) and produces a configuration of angiographic dye in the right anterior oblique projection resembling a ballerina's foot; sometimes called dancer's foot malformation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| banding pattern | <genetics> Chromosomes stained with certain dyes, commonly quinacrine (Q banding) or Giemsa (G banding), show a pattern of transverse bands of light and heavy staining that is characteristic for the individual chromosome. The basis of the differential staining, which is the same in most tissues, is not understood: each band represents 5-10% of the length, about 10exp7 base pairs, although this is not true for polytene chromosomes in Drosophila that show more than 4000 bands. (18 Nov 1997) |
| butterfly pattern | Bilateral, symmetric, pulmonary alveolar opacities sparing the periphery, on chest radiographs; usually caused by pulmonary oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| male pattern alopecia | The most common form of androgenic alopecia, seen in men as receding frontal and bilateral triangular temple hair lines, and a balding patch on the vertex, which may progress to complete alopecia. Synonym: male pattern baldness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| male pattern baldness | The most common form of androgenic alopecia, seen in men as receding frontal and bilateral triangular temple hair lines, and a balding patch on the vertex, which may progress to complete alopecia. Synonym: male pattern baldness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| random pattern flap | A flap in which the pedicle blood supply is derived randomly from the network of vessels in the area, rather than from a single longitudinal artery as in an axial pattern flap. (05 Mar 2000) |
