| 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 transmission | <microbiology> Transmission of a pathogen such as HIV from mother to foetus or baby during pregnancy or birth. See: perinatal transmission. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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) |
| disease transmission, vertical | The transmission of infectious disease or pathogens from one generation to another. It includes transmission in utero or intrapartum by exposure to blood and secretions, and postpartum exposure via breastfeeding. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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.
