| epididymovasectomy | Surgical removal of the epididymis and vas deferens, usually proximal to its entry into the inguinal canal. Origin: epididymis + vasectomy (05 Mar 2000) |

| epidote | <chemical> A mineral, commonly of a yellowish green (pistachio) colour, occurring granular, massive, columnar, and in monoclinic crystals. It is a silicate of alumina, lime, and oxide of iron, or manganese. The Epidote group includes ordinary epidote, zoisite or lime epidote, piedmontite or manganese epidote, allanite or serium epidote. Origin: Gr. To give besides; over + to give: cf. F. Epidote. So named from the enlargement of the base of the primary, in some of the secondary forms. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| epidural | <anatomy> Situated within the spinal canal, on or outside the dura mater (tough membrane surrounding the spinal cord), synonyms are extradural and peridural. (16 Dec 1997) |
| epidural abscess | This is a disorder which is characterised by inflammation and a collection of infected material (pus) in the area between the skull bone and the covering of the brain (meninges). Infection is usually caused by bacteria (Staphylococcus), but may be secondary to a fungal or viral infection. Epidural abscess can occur secondary to a chronic ear or sinus infection, penetrating head injury or mastoiditis. Fever, headache and neurologic symptoms are common. (27 Sep 1997) |
| epidural anaesthesia | Regional anaesthesia produced by injection of local anaesthetic solution into the peridural space. Synonym: peridural anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidural anaesthetic | An anaesthetic injected into the epidural space surrounding the fluid-filled sac (the dura) around the spine which partially numbs the abdomen and legs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidural block | An obstruction in the epidural space; used inaccurately to refer to epidural anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidural cavity | The space between the walls of the vertebral canal and the dura mater of the spinal cord. Synonym: cavum epidurale, epidural space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidural haematoma | A serious type of head injury that is characterised by a collection of blood that lies outside of the dura mater (between the dura mater and the skull). Occurs secondary to major head trauma. The most common location on the skull for this type of injury is over the temple. The temporal bone when fractured can cause a tearing of an epidural blood artery. The progressive accumulation of blood (haematoma) in the epidural space leads to the development of neurologic symptoms and coma. Treatment includes surgical evacuation of the haematoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| epidural meningitis | Inflammation of the outer surface of the dura mater. Synonym: epidural meningitis, external meningitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidural neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the epidural space, at or above the dura mater of the spinal cord. (12 Dec 1998) |
