| supravalvular aortic stenosis | <radiology> Types: localised hourglass narrowing just above aortic sinuses, discrete fibrous membrane above sinuses of Valsalva, diffuse tubular hypoplasia of ascending aorta and branching arteries associated with: peripheral pulmonary stenosis, valvular and discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis, Marfan syndrome, Williams syndrome findings: dilatation and tortuosity of coronary arteries (may undergo early atherosclerotic degeneration secondary to high pressure), narrowing of the supravalvular area (normal root diameter: 20-37mm), normal movement of cusps (12 Dec 1998) |

| supravalvular stenosis | Stenosis distal to the aortic valve due usually to a congenital membrane. Patients usually have a kind of "elfin" facies and resemble each other more than they do members of their family. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dittrich's stenosis | Narrowing of the outflow tract of the right ventricle below the pulmonic valve; may be due to a localised fibrous diaphragm just below the valve or, more commonly, to a long narrow fibromuscular channel. Synonym: Dittrich's stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double aortic stenosis | Subaortic stenosis associated with stenosis of the valve itself, both lesions being congenital. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infundibular stenosis | Narrowing of the outflow tract of the right ventricle below the pulmonic valve; may be due to a localised fibrous diaphragm just below the valve or, more commonly, to a long narrow fibromuscular channel. Synonym: Dittrich's stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oesophageal stenosis | Stricture of the oesophagus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tricuspid stenosis | Pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the tricuspid valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tricuspid valve stenosis | The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the tricuspid valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fish-mouth mitral stenosis | Extreme mitral stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal stenosis | Narrowing or stricture of any or all areas of the larynx; may be congenital or acquired. (05 Mar 2000) |
