| AFCI | acute focal cerebral ischemia |
| BFEC | benign focal epilepsy of childhood |
| EFL | effective focal length |
| FCD | feces collection device; fibrocystic disease; fibrocystic dysplasia; focal cytoplasmic degradation |
| nuclear sclerosis | Increased refractivity of the central portion of the lens of the eye. See: nuclear cataract. (05 Mar 2000) |

| systemic sclerosis | <rheumatology> A multisystem disorder of unknown aetiology. It is characterised by fibrosis (scarring) of the skin, blood vessels and internal organs. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidneys and lungs is common. (09 Jan 1998) |
| diffuse infantile familial sclerosis | <radiology> Dysmyelinating disease, autosomal recessive, usually presents by 1 yr, specific enzyme deficiency identified, rapid spontaneous nystagmus, poikilothermia Synonym: Krabbe leukodystrophy (12 Dec 1998) |
| disseminated sclerosis | <neurology> Neurodegenerative disease characterised by the gradual accumulation of focal plaques of demyelination particularly in the periventricular areas of the brain. Peripheral nerves are not affected. Onset usually in 3rd or 4th decade with intermittent progression over an extended period. Cause still uncertain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| idiopathic hypercalcaemic sclerosis of infants | See: idiopathic hypercalcaemia of infants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| insular sclerosis | <neurology> Neurodegenerative disease characterised by the gradual accumulation of focal plaques of demyelination particularly in the periventricular areas of the brain. Peripheral nerves are not affected. Onset usually in 3rd or 4th decade with intermittent progression over an extended period. Cause still uncertain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ovulational sclerosis | A slowly progressive sclerosis in the walls of the ovarian arteries which commences after puberty. Synonym: menstrual sclerosis, ovulational sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocardial sclerosis | <radiology> Unknown aetiology, diffuse thickening of endocardium, few live more than 2 yrs, limited to left chambers in 80%, causes restrictive cardiomyopathy (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberous sclerosis | <radiology> (Bourneville disease) autosomal dominant phakomatosis classic triad: seizures, retardation, adenoma sebaceum, calcified subependymal hamartomas, uncalcified tubers in cerebral cortex, enhancing lesion most likely to be malignant transformation to giant cell astrocytoma associated with: skin lesions, angiomyolipoma, increased risk of renal cell carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| unicellular sclerosis | A growth of fibrous tissue between and isolating the individual cells of a part. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminar cortical sclerosis | A degeneration of nerve fibres in the corona radiata in a laminar pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral spinal sclerosis | Considered by many to be a subgroup of motor neuron disease; a slowly progressive degenerative disorder of the motor neurons of the cerebral cortex, resulting in widespread weakness on an upper motor neuron basis; spasticity, hyperreflexia, and Babinski signs are present, but not fasciculation potentials, nor any electrodiagnostic evidence of a lower motor neuron lesion. Synonym: lateral spinal sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobar sclerosis | Circumscribed atrophy of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: lobar sclerosis, progressive circumscribed cerebral atrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior focal point | The point where parallel rays from the retina are focused. (05 Mar 2000) |
| back focal length | <microscopy> As measured on the principal axis, from the second lens vertex to the back focal point of the lens. It is not the equivalent of the focal length. (05 Aug 1998) |
