| Denman's spontaneous evolution | A mechanism of spontaneous molding of the foetus and impaction of the shoulder with prolapse of the arm noted in some cases of transverse lie; vaginal delivery is achieved with the breech appearing at the vulva immediately after the prolapsed shoulder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Douglas' spontaneous evolution | A mechanism whereby molding of the foetus and impaction of the shoulder and prolapsed arm occurs in transverse lie, allowing vaginal delivery with the lateral aspect of the thorax following the prolapsed shoulder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| otoacoustic emissions, spontaneous | Sinusoidal tones originating in the cochlea. These faint sounds, with levels between 10-30 decibels, are usually not recognised by the persons having them. However, the emissions can be recorded using sensitive microphones placed in the ear canals. The clinical significance of having or not having spontaneous otoacoustic emissions is unclear; however, some association between tinnitus and the spontaneous emissions has been reported.
