| multifocal osteitis fibrosa | The occurrence of lesions of fibrous dysplasia in multiple bones, commonly on one side of the body; may occur with areas of pigmentation and endocrine dysfunction (McCune-Albright syndrome). Synonym: multifocal osteitis fibrosa, osteitis fibrosa disseminata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| myositis fibrosa | Induration of a muscle through an interstitial growth of fibrous tissue. Synonym: Froriep's induration, interstitial myositis, myofascitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| osteitis fibrosa | <radiology> Secondary to hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphataemia followed by increased parathormone production, subperiosteal bone resorption, radial aspect of phalanges, distal clavicle, medial tibia plateau, medial humerus neck, distal ulna, phalangeal tufts, lamina dura of teeth, subchondral and subligamentous bone resorption, widening of symphysis pubis, SI joints, resorption of ischial tuberosity, spotty deossification of the skull (wooly, salt and pepper), metaphyseal fractures, slipped epiphyses, brown tumour and chondocalcinosis, more common in primary hyperparathyroidism see: renal osteodystrophy (12 Dec 1998) |
| osteitis fibrosa circumscripta | Fibrous dysplasia of a single bone. Synonym: localised osteitis fibrosa, osteitis fibrosa circumscripta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| osteitis fibrosa cystica | Rarefying osteitis with fibrous degeneration and formation of cysts, and with the presence of fibrous nodules on the affected bones. It is due to marked osteoclastic activity secondary to hyperfunction of the parathyroid glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| osteitis fibrosa disseminata | The occurrence of lesions of fibrous dysplasia in multiple bones, commonly on one side of the body; may occur with areas of pigmentation and endocrine dysfunction (McCune-Albright syndrome). Synonym: multifocal osteitis fibrosa, osteitis fibrosa disseminata. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trigona fibrosa cordis | See: right fibrous trigone, left fibrous trigone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| junctura fibrosa | A union of two bones by fibrous tissue such that there is no joint cavity and almost no motion possible; the types of fibrous joints are sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Synonym: articulatio fibrosa, immovable joint, junctura fibrosa, synarthrodia, synarthrodial joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| localised osteitis fibrosa | Fibrous dysplasia of a single bone. Synonym: localised osteitis fibrosa, osteitis fibrosa circumscripta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adeps renis | An obsolete term for the layer of adipose tissue ("fatty capsule") surrounding the kidney (perirenal fat). (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae arcuatae renis | Curved arteries at the corticomedullary border, arising from interlobar arteries and giving rise to interlobular arteries. Synonym: arteriae arcuatae renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae interlobares renis | The branches of the segmental arteries of the kidney; they run between the renal lobes and give rise to the arcuate arteries. Synonym: arteriae interlobares renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriae renis | The branches of the renal artery that supply the anatomical segments of kidney. Usually five in number, they are end arteries and give off interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in sequence. The latter send afferent arterioles to the glomeruli as well as branches to the kidney capsule. The segmental arteries of the kidney are identified as: anterior inferior (arteriae segmenti anterioris inferioris renis ); anterior superior (arteriae segmenti anterioris superioris renis ); inferior (arteriae segmenti inferioris renis ); posterior (arteriae segmenti posterioris renis ); and superior (arteriae segmenti superioris renis ). Synonym: arteriae renis, arteries of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria segmenti anterioris inferioris renis | Origin, anterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti anterioris inferioris renis, artery of anterior {inferior segment of kidney}. (05 Mar 2000) |
