| auriculotemporal nerve syndrome | <syndrome> Localised flushing and sweating of the ear and cheek in response to eating. Synonym: Frey's syndrome, gustatory sweating syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome | <syndrome> A condition, usually occurring in women, in which the individual bruises easily (purpura simplex) and the ecchymoses tend to enlarge and involve adjacent tissues, resulting in pain in the affected parts; so-called because similar lesions are produced by inoculation of the individual's blood or various components of red blood cells and it is thought to be a form of localised autosensitization, although no specific antibodies have been demonstrable; in some individuals, there seems to be a psychogenic mechanism. Synonym: Gardner-Diamond syndrome, psychogenic purpura. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Avellis' syndrome | <syndrome> Unilateral paralysis of the larynx and velum palati, with contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensibility in the parts below. Synonym: jugular foramen syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| A-V strabismus syndrome | <syndrome> Strabismus in which the angle of deviation is more marked on looking upward or downward. See: A-esotropia, V-esotropia, A-exotropia, V-exotropia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ayerza's syndrome | <syndrome> Sclerosis of the pulmonary arteries in chronic cor pulmonale; associated with severe cyanosis, it is a condition resembling polycythemia vera but resulting from primary pulmonary arteriosclerosis or primary pulmonary hypertension and characterised by plexiform lesions of arterioles. Synonym: Ayerza's disease, cardiopathia nigra, plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babinski's syndrome | <syndrome> The combination of cardiac, arterial, and central nervous system manifestations of late syphilis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Banti's syndrome | <syndrome> Chronic congestive splenomegaly that occurs primarily in children as a sequel to hypertension in the portal or splenic veins, usually as a result of thrombosis of the veins; anaemia, splenomegaly, and irregular episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding are usually observed, with ascites, jaundice, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia developing in various conbinations. Synonym: Banti's disease, splenic anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bardet-Biedl syndrome | <syndrome> Mental retardation, pigmentary retinopathy, polydactyly, obesity, and hypogenitalism; recessive inheritance. See: Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bare lymphocyte syndrome | <syndrome> Absence of HLA antigens on peripheral mononuclear cells, which may result in immunodeficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Barlow's syndrome | <syndrome> Also referred to as mitral valve prolapse, systolic click-murmur syndrome, floppy-valve syndrome and billowing mitral leaflet syndrome. A common, but highly variable (most individuals are asymptomatic), clinical syndrome that has been described in up to 7% of all females in the 14 to 30 age group. There is also an increased familial incidence suggesting an autosomal dominant form of inheritance. (27 Sep 1997) |
