| true neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome | <syndrome> Very chronic axon loss brachial plexopathy, caused by compromise of the lower trunk fibres by a congenital band extending from a rudimentary cervical rib to the first thoracic rib; rare disorder, found mostly in young to middle-aged women, that presents with unilateral hand wasting and weakness, particularly involving the lateral thenar eminence; sometimes accompanied by intermittent discomfort along the medial forearm and hand. Synonym: cervical rib and band syndrome, classic cervical rib syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| true pelvis | The cavity of the pelvis below the brim or superior aperture. Synonym: pelvis minor, pelvis vera, small pelvis, true pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true ribs | Seven upper ribs on either side whose cartilages articulate directly with the sternum. Synonym: costae verae, vertebrosternal ribs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true thirst | Thirst that can be satisfied by drinking water. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true vertebra | Any one of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: vertebra vera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true vocal cord | One of Ferrein's cords; the sharp edge of a fold of mucous membrane overlying the vocal ligament and stretching along either wall of the larynx from the angle between the laminae of the thyroid cartilage to the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage; the vocal folds are the agents concerned in voice production. Synonym: plica vocalis, chorda vocalis, labium vocale, true vocal cord, vocal cord, vocal shelf. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical facial neuralgia | Periodic pain in any region of the face, teeth, tongue, and occasionally in the occipital or shoulder area, which lasts several minutes to several days but has no trigger point and lacks the paroxysmal character of tic douloureux. Synonym: atypical facial neuralgia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| branch to trigeminal ganglion | Ganglionic branch of internal carotid artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mammary neuralgia | Neuralgia of the intercostal nerve or nerves supplying the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| geniculate neuralgia | A severe paroxysmal lancinating pain deep in the ear, on the anterior wall of the external meatus, and on a small area just in front of the pinna. Synonym: geniculate otalgia, Hunt's neuralgia, neuralgia facialis vera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| red neuralgia | Disease marked by paroxysmal, bilateral vasodilatation, particularly of the extremities, with burning pain, and increased skin temperature and redness. (12 Dec 1998) |

| cervico-brachial neuralgia | Neuralgic pain of acute onset caused by lesions of the peripheral nerves or nerve roots affecting the upper limb, shoulder girdle, or brachial plexus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A long, narrow plate of unipolar neurons extending throughout the length of the midbrain, in and along the lateral angle of the central gray substance. The nucleus is the single known instance of primary sensory neurons enclosed in the central nervous system instead of in a peripheral sensory ganglion. Its peripheral axonal processes pass with the trigeminal nerve, give collaterals to the trigeminal motor nucleus, and terminate in the muscles of mastication. Synonym: nucleus tractus mesencephali nervi trigemini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesencephalic tract of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Located alongside the central substance of the midbrain and composed of primary sensory fibres, the cells of origin of which compose the mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminus. Synonym: tractus mesencephalicus nervi trigemini. (05 Mar 2000) |
