| cranial arteritis | <pathology> An inflammatory condition of the temporal artery. It is a serious chronic vascular disease, characterised by inflammation of the walls of the blood vessels (vasculitis). The age of affected patients is usually over 50 years of age. It most often involves the carotid artery system, and can lead to blindness or stroke. It can be diagnosed by biopsy of an artery, but there is often a false negative result. Elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is typical. Treatment is with high dose steroids. Common symptoms include headaches and tenderness over the temple (temporal artery). Can be associated with polymyalgia rheumatica. See: polymyalgia rheumatica. Synonym: cranial arteritis, temporal arteritis (20 Jun 2000) |
| Heubner's arteritis | Inflammation of arteries within the circle of Willis secondary to chronic basal meningitis from tubercle bacillus or particular fungi such as Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, or Coccidiodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Horton's arteritis | giant cell arteritis |
| neurocranial granulomatous arteritis | A small vessel giant cell arteritis which affects only intracranial blood vessels, of unknown aetiology, and with diverse clinical manifestations, including those seen with an involving cerebral tumour, and with a lower grade meningitis, leading to infarction of one portion of the cerebrum or cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious arteritis virus of horses | <virology> A virus of the genus Pestivirus, a member of the family Togaviridae, that causes equine viral arteritis. It is probably the most common cause of equine influenza and an important equine respiratory disease frequently causing abortion, pneumonia, or other infections. Synonym: infectious arteritis virus of horses. (05 Mar 2000) |

| takayasu arteritis | <radiology> Also known as: giant cell arteritis, aortic arch syndrome, pulseless disease, thickening of wall of aortic arch and thoracic aorta, chronic obliterative arteritis of subclavian and carotid arteries, diminished pulses in upper extremities, may most likely to be rib notching (12 Dec 1998) |
| takayasu's arteritis | A thrombo-obliterative process of the great vessels stemming from the aortic arch, occurring generally in young women. Radial and carotid pulses are typically obliterated. Skin changes are due to the disturbed circulation. There may be loss of hair and atrophy of the skin and its appendages with underlying muscle atrophy. (andrews' diseases of the skin, 8th ed) (12 Dec 1998) |

Synonym: infectious arteritis virus of horses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| equine viral arteritis | A highly contagious viral disease caused by equine arteritis virus, member of the family Togaviridae, and characterised by a high fever and respiratory and digestive tract signs; the essential lesions involve smaller arteries, with necrosis which may be followed by thrombosis, infarction, haemorrhages, and oedema; abortion is a common result. Synonym: epizootic cellulitis, equine typhoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extracranial arteritis | giant cell arteritis |
| ascending branch of the inferior mesenteric artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of the left colic artery (from inferior mesenteric artery) that passes anteriorly to the left kidney into the transverse mesocolon, where it anastomoses with the middle colic artery. It thus forms an anastomosis between superior and inferior mesenteric arteries, and is a component of the marginal artery (Drummond) of the colon. Synonym: arteria ascendens, arteria intermesenterica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central mesenteric lymph nodes | The mesenteric lymph nodes located along the intestinal (jejunal and ileal) branches of the superior mesenteric artery. Synonym: nodi lymphatici superiores centrales, central mesenteric lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
