| ASCI | acute spinal cord injury; American Society for Clinical Investigation |
| small bowel nodules | <radiology> Lymphoid hyperplasia, lymphoma, metastasis (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| solitary nodules of intestine | Minute collections of lymphoid tissue in the mucosa of the small and large intestines, being especially numerous in the caecum and appendix. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici solitarii, solitary follicles, solitary glands, solitary nodules of intestine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenic lymph nodules | Small nodular masses of lymphoid tissue attached to the sides of the smaller arterial branches. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici lienales, malpighian bodies, malpighian corpuscles, malpighian glands, malpighian nodules, splenic corpuscles, splenic lymph nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dalen-Fuchs nodules | Collections of epithelial cells lying between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium in sympathetic ophthalmia and rarely in other granulomatous intraocular inflammations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal mucosal nodules | <radiology> Glycogenic acanthosis, oesophagitis (especially monilial), superficial spreading carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| Jeanselme's nodules | A form of tertiary yaws that is characterised by the occurrence of nodule's on the arms and legs, situated usually near the joints. Synonym: juxta-articular nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juxta-articular nodules | A form of tertiary yaws that is characterised by the occurrence of nodule's on the arms and legs, situated usually near the joints. Synonym: juxta-articular nodules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute spinal cord compression | <radiology> Signs and symptoms of cord compression show progression within 24 hours or less: pain, weakness, autonomic dysfunction, sensory loss, ataxia Diagnostic considerations: Primary or secondary malignancy of epidural space or vertebrae, Trauma, Inflammatory process, Osteoarthritis REF: MacNeil BJ, Abrams HL. Brigham and Women's Hospital Handbook of Diagnostic Imaging. Chapter 35. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior median fissure of spinal cord | A deep median fissure on the anterior surface of the spinal cord. Synonym: fissura mediana anterior medullae spinalis, anteromedian groove, sulcus ventralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterolateral column of spinal cord | The lateral white column of the spinal cord between the lines of exit and entrance of the anterior and posterior nerve roots. Synonym: funiculus lateralis, anterolateral column of spinal cord, lateral funiculus of spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arachnoid of spinal cord | That portion of the arachnoid which lies within the vertebral canal and surrounds the spinal cord and the vertebral portion of the subarachnoid space. It extends from the foramen magnum above to the S-2 vertebral level. Since the spinal cord ends at the L-2 vertebral level, a wide separation occurs between the arachnoid and pia mater, the lumbar cistern, filled with cerebrospinal fluid in which the cauda equina is suspended. Synonym: arachnoidea mater spinalis, spinal part of arachnoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gangliated cord | One of the two long ganglionated nerve strands alongside the vertebral column that extend from the base of the skull to the coccyx; they are connected to each spinal nerve by gray rami and receive fibres from the spinal cord through white rami connecting with the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal nerves. Synonym: truncus sympathicus, gangliated cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genital cord | One of a pair of mesenchymal ridges bulging into the caudal part of the celom of a young embryo and containing the mesonephric and paramesonephric duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glioma of the spinal cord | A glial tumour of the spinal cord, commonly an ependymoma; neoplasms of the spinal cord are relatively rare, but glioma's constitute approximately one-fourth of the total. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cord of brachial plexus | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk which lies medial to the axillary artery; it gives off the medial pectoral nerve, the medial brachial cutaneous, and medial antebrachial cutaneous, nerves and end by dividing into the medial root of the median nerves and the ulnar nerve. Synonym: fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
