| 영문 | cerebral aneurysm | 한글 | 뇌동맥류, 뇌동맥자루 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌의 동맥에 생긴 동맥자루. 임상적으로 중요시되는 이유는 이것이 잘 터져 뇌출혈의 중요한 원인이 되기 때문이다. 대부분의 동맥자루가 출혈을 일으키지만 출혈을 일으키지 않는 경우에는 주위의 뇌 조직의 압박에 의해서 두통이나 발작 등을 일으킬 수 있다. |

| 영문 | cerebral palsy | 한글 | 뇌성마비 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 출생전, 출생시 혹은 출생후의 뇌의 선천기형, 손상 혹은 중추신경계의 병에 의해서 영구적이며, 비진행성인 운동신경 및 정신장애를 일으키는 경우를 뜻한다. 원인은 여러 가지가 있을 수 있으나 조산으로 인한 뇌의 산소공급의 부족, 또는 난산으로 인한 호흡장애 등이 흔한 원인이다. 증상은 대개 비진행성의 뇌 병변으로 인한 운동장애가 대표적인 증상이며 그외에 청력, 시력의 장애, 지능부전, 언어장애, 경련 및 정신장애 등이 동반될 수 있다. |

| 영문 | cerebral concussion | 한글 | 뇌진탕 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 외부에서 기원하는 물리적 충격으로 인해 뇌의 물리적 손상없이 일어나는 뇌의 기능 장애. 일시적으로 무의식, 반사소실, 등이 나타나지만 결국은 아무 후유증없이 정상으로 돌아온다. |

| 영문 | cerebral cortex | 한글 | 대뇌겉질 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 표면부위를 대뇌겉질이라고도 한다. 대개 얕은회색질(superficial gray matter)와 동의어로 쓰인다. 회색질이란 대뇌의 표면에 신경세포가 모여있는 곳으로 회색을 띠는 부분을 말한다. 이와는 대조적으로 백색질이란 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 분포하는 곳이며 대뇌에서 회색질의 안쪽에 존재한다. 참고로 말하면 척수에서는 대뇌와 반대로 회색질 안쪽에 존재하고 백색질이 밖에 존재한다. 즉 척수에서는 신경세포가 척수의 안쪽에 존재하고 바깥쪽에 그 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 존재한다. |

| great cerebral vein | A large, unpaired vein formed by the junction of the two internal cerebral veins in the caudal part of the tela choroidea of the third ventricle; it passes caudally between the splenium of the corpus callosum and the pineal gland, curving dorsally to merge with the inferior sagittal sinus to form the straight sinus. Synonym: vena cerebri magna, great cerebral vein, great vein of Galen. (05 Mar 2000) |

| great cerebral vein of Galen | A large, unpaired vein formed by the junction of the two internal cerebral veins in the caudal part of the tela choroidea of the third ventricle; it passes caudally between the splenium of the corpus callosum and the pineal gland, curving dorsally to merge with the inferior sagittal sinus to form the straight sinus. Synonym: vena cerebri magna, great cerebral vein, great vein of Galen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cistern of great cerebral vein | <anatomy, vein> An expansion of the subarachnoid space extending forward between the corpus callosum and the thalamus; it encloses the internal cerebral veins which caudally join to form the vena magna cerebri (Galen's vein). Synonym: ambient cistern, Bichat's canal, Bichat's foramen, cistern of great vein of cerebrum, cisterna ambiens, cisterna superioris, cisterna venae magnae cerebri, superior cistern. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior superficial cervical lymph nodes | The lymph nodes in the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior region of the neck. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches coursing in relationship to and/or supplying the parietal lobe of the brain. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial crus of the superficial inguinal ring | Portion of the external oblique aponeurosis which passes medial to the superficial inguinal ring forming the medial boundary of the ring. Synonym: crus mediale annuli inguinalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous layer of superficial fascia | The membranous layer of the subcutaneous tissue in the urogenital region attaching posteriorly to the border of the urogenital diaphragm, at the sides to the ischiopubic rami, and continuing anteriorly onto the abdominal wall. Synonym: fascia perinei superficialis, Colles' fascia, Cruveilhier's fascia, membranous layer of superficial fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater superficial petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| superficial angioma | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment.

| superficial back muscles | Muscles originating from the vertebral column and having their fleshy bellies located in the back, but inserting onto the appendicular skeleton of the upper limb or the ribs. They are not innervated by dorsal primary rami of spinal nerves, as are the deep or true muscles of the back; includes the trapezius muscle (innervated by spinal accessory nerve) and latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, levator scapulae, and thoracic muscles (innervated by ventral primary rami of spinal nerves, or derivatives thereof). (05 Mar 2000) |
