| vertical retraction syndrome | <syndrome> A retraction of the globe and pseudoptosis on attempted adduction; due to co-innervation of the horizontal recti. Sometimes there is an inability to abduct the affected eye (type 1), or adduct the affected eye (type 2), or both (type 3). Synonym: Duane's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |

| vertical strabismus | A form of strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates upward (s. Sursum vergens) or downward (s. Deorsum vergens). (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical vertigo | Dizziness experienced when standing upright. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rest vertical dimension | The vertical dimension of the face with the jaws in rest relation; decrease in rest vertical dimension may or may not accompany a decrease in occlusal vertical dimension; it may occur without a decrease in occlusal vertical dimension in patients with a preponderant activity of the jaw-closing musculature, as in patients with muscular hypertenseness or in chronic gum chewers; increase in rest vertical dimension may or may not accompany an increase in occlusal vertical dimension; it sometimes occurs after the removal of remaining occlusal contacts, perhaps as a result of the removal of noxious reflex stimuli.

| Scardino vertical flap pyeloplasty | A reconstructive technique for correction of uteropelvic obstruction, whereby a vertical flap of renal pelvis is brought down and interposed into a vertical incision in the ureter. Compare: Culp pyeloplasty. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal vertical dimension | The vertical dimension of the face when the teeth or occlusion rims are in contact in centric occlusion; decrease in occlusal vertical dimension may result from modification of tooth form by attrition or grinding, drifting of teeth, or, in edentulous patients, by resorption of residual ridges; increase may result from modifications of tooth form, tooth position, height of occlusion rims, rebasing or relining, or occlusal splints.
