| infrahyoid branch of superior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Small branch from the initial part of the superior thyroid artery coursing along the hyoid bone deep to the thyrohyoid muscle to anastomose with its contralateral partner. Synonym: ramus infrahyoideus arteriae thyroidea superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral superior genicular artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, popliteal; distribution, knee joint; anastomoses, lateral circumflex femoral, third perforating, anterior tibial recurrent, lateral inferior genicular, i.e., the articular vascular network of the knee. Synonym: arteria genus superior lateralis, lateral superior genicular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cerebellar notch | A wide, shallow notch on the anterior surface of the cerebellum occupied laterally by the superior cerebellar peduncles and the inferior quadrigeminal bodies medially. Synonym: anterior notch of cerebellum, incisura cerebelli anterior, semilunar notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar | <anatomy> Pertaining to the cerebellum. (18 Nov 1997) |

| cerebellar astrocytoma | <oncology, tumour> This primary brain tumour of the cerebellum accounts for 10 to 30% of brain tumours in children. The are usually slow growing and benign. Symptoms include gait problems, clumsiness, headache and vomiting. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebellar ataxia | Loss of muscle coordination caused by disorders of the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar atrophy | A degeneration of the cerebellum, particularly the Purkinje cells, as the result of abiotrophy or of toxic agents, as in alcoholism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cortex | The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of Purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum. Synonym: cortex cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cyst | A cyst usually occurring in the lateral cerebellar white matter; often a part of cerebellar astrocytoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar dyssynergia | <neurology> A condition marked by generalised intention tremors associated with disturbance of muscle tone and of muscular coordination, caused by a disorder of cerebellar function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellar fissures | The deep furrows which divide the lobules of the cerebellum. See: postcentral fissure, primary fissure of cerebellum, secondary fissure of cerebellum. Synonym: fissurae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar fossa | The large concave impressions on the inner surface of the occipital bone on either side of the foramen magnum and internal occipital crest, housing the cerebellar hemispheres; a part of the posterior cranial fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar frenulum | A band passing from the longitudinal groove between the quadrigeminal bodies on to the superior medullary velum. Synonym: frenulum veli medullaris superioris, cerebellar frenulum, frenulum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
