| STA-MCA | Superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery |
| cavernous sinus syndrome | <syndrome> This condition is characterised by oedema of the eyelids and conjunctivae and paralysis of the third, fourth and sixth cranial nerves. It is due to a cavernous sinus thrombosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| cavernous sinus thrombosis | <neurology> A blood clot within the cavernous sinus (a sinus cavity which is bordered by the sphenoid bone and the temporal bone). This condition produces a syndrome called cavernous sinus syndrome. (16 Mar 1998) |
| cavernous tissue | A tissue with numerous vascular spaces that may become engorged with blood. Synonym: cavernous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous transfer of portal vein | <anatomy, vein> Replacement of the portal vein by a number of collateral channels, a consequence of thrombosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous veins of penis | The cavernous venous spaces in the erectile tissue of the penis. Synonym: venae cavernosae penis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous voice | The hollow or metallic voice sound heard over a pulmonary cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavernous voice sound | The hollow or metallic voice sound heard over a pulmonary cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressible cavernous bodies | Submucous venous plexuses found at the level of the pharyngoesophageal junction and anal canal, which assist in reducing or obliterating the lumen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemangioma, cavernous | A vascular tumour preponderantly composed of large dilated blood vessels, often containing large amounts of blood, occurring in the skin, subcutaneously, or both, and also in many viscera, particularly the liver, spleen, pancreas, and sometimes the brain. The typical superficial lesions are bright to dark red in colour; deep lesions have a blue colour. A cavernous haemangioma in the skin extends more deeply than a capillary haemangioma and is less likely to regress spontaneously. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anastomotic branch of middle meningeal artery to lacrimal artery | <anatomy, artery> A branch of the middle meningeal artery arising in the cranial cavity which runs anteriorly through the superior orbital fissure to anastomose with the lacrimal artery. See: orbital branch of middle meningeal artery. Synonym: ramus anastomoticus arteriae meningeae mediae cum lacrimali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carotid | Pertaining to the carotid artery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carotid arteries | <anatomy> Paired large calibre vessels that pass on either side of the neck supplying oxygenated blood to the brain. Occlusive disease (atherosclerosis) of the vessels can lead to stroke. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carotid body | A small cluster of chemoreceptive and supporting cells located near the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery. The carotid body, which is richly supplied with fenestrated capillaries, senses the pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen concentrations in the blood and plays a crucial role in their homeostatic control. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carotid body cell | <pathology> Cells derived from the neural crest, involved in sensing pH and oxygen tension of the blood. (18 Nov 1997) |
| carotid body tumour | An invariably benign, encapsulated, firm round mass at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, with nests of large polyhedral cells in alveolar or organoid arrangement. It is usually asymptomatic but large masses may encroach upon the parapharyngeal space and produce dysphagia, pain, and cranial nerve palsies. (12 Dec 1998) |
