| adrenal cortical carcinomas | Large invasive and metastasizing tumours which may cause virilism or Cushing's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| adrenal cortical syndrome | <syndrome> An inexact (and obsolete) term that has been applied to Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, or the adrenogenital syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blindness, cortical | Total loss of vision in all or part of the visual field due to a lesion in the striate area, characterised by the patient's subjective unawareness of his disability and the absence of cortical functions of vision, with the subcortical functions intact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, adrenal cortical | A malignant neoplasm of adrenal cortical cells demonstrating partial or complete histological and functional differentiation. They are rare, comprising between only 0.05% and 0.2% of all cancers. Women develop functional adrenal cortical carcinomas more commonly than men, but men develop nonfunctioning ones more often than women. Hypercortisolism is the most common presentation for this cancer. Virilism and cushing's syndrome may also result. (12 Dec 1998) |
| generalised cortical hyperostosis | <syndrome> An inherited skeletal dysplasia, with mandibular enlargement and thickening of the diaphyses and calvaria, and increased serum alkaline phosphatase; autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: generalised cortical hyperostosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal cortical adenoma | <tumour> One of the usually small adenoma's sometimes found in the renal cortex and derived from renal tubular tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal cortical lobule | One of the subdivisions of the kidney, consisting of a medullary ray and that portion of the convoluted port (renal corpuscles and convoluted tubules) associated with its collecting duct. Synonym: lobulus corticalis renalis, renal cortical lobule, renculus, reniculus, renunculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metaphysial fibrous cortical defect | A small (less than 2 to 3 cm in diameter) fibrous cortical d. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical | <anatomy> Pertaining to or of the nature of a cortex or bark. Origin: L. Corticalis (18 Nov 1997) |
| cortical apraxia | An inability to make movements or to use objects for the purpose intended. Synonym: cortical apraxia, innervation apraxia, limb-kinetic apraxia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cortical arteries | Branches of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral artery's that supply the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical audiometry | Measurement of the potentials that arise in the auditory system above the level of the brainstem. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical blindness | Loss of sight due to an organic lesion in the visual cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical bone | The superficial thin layer of compact bone. Synonym: substantia corticalis, cortical substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
