| stereotactic radiosurgery | A radiation therapy technique that uses a large number of narrow, precisely aimed, highly focused beams of ionising radiation. The beams are aimed from many directions circling the head and meet at a specific point. (16 Dec 1997) |

| stereotomical | Of or pertaining to stereotomy; performed by stereotomy. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stereotomy | The science or art of cutting solids into certain figures or sections, as arches, and the like; especially, the art of stonecutting. Origin: Stereo + Gr. To cut: cf. F. Stereotomie. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stereotropic | Relating to or exhibiting stereotropism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stereotropism | Growth or movement of a plant or animal toward (positive stereotropism) or away from (negative stereotropism) a solid body, usually applied where a part of the organism rather than the whole reacts. Origin: stereo-+ G. Tropos, a turning (05 Mar 2000) |
| stereotype | 1. A plate forming an exact faximile of a page of type or of an engraving, used in printing books, etc.; specifically, a plate with type-metal face, used for printing. A stereotype, or stereotypr plate, is made by setting movable type as for ordinary printing; from these a cast is taken in plaster of Paris, paper pulp, or the like, and upon this cast melted type metal is poured, which, when hardened, makes a solid page or column, from which the impression is taken as from type. 2. The art or process of making such plates, or of executing work by means of them. Stereotype block, a block, usually of wood, to which a stereotype plate is attached while being used in printing. Origin: Stereo + -type: cf. F. Stereotype. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stereotyped behaviour | Relatively invariant mode of behaviour elicited or determined by a particular situation; may be verbal, postural, or expressive. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stereotypic movement disorder | Motor behaviour that is repetive, often seemingly driven, and nonfunctional. This behaviour markedly interfers with normal activities or results in severe bodily self-injury. The behaviour is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance or a general medical condition. (dsm-IV, 1994) (12 Dec 1998) |
| stereotyping | An oversimplified perception or conception especially of persons, social groups, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stereotactic neurosurgery |
Microsurgical intervention in deep brain structures for lesion, biopsy or implantation that is based on careful planning using a three-dimensional coordinate system established with the help of neuroimaging.

| stereotactic |
refers to use of precise coordinates to identify deep structures of the brain. The coordinates may be obtained by fitting a patient's head with a special frame and taking a CT or MRI scan. The position of the brain structures relative to the frame permits fine localization of the deep brain structures. Stereotactic methods are used during brain surgery for tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia. These brain structures are located with precise, three-dimensional coordinates.
