|---|---|
| cerebellopontine angle syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome due most commonly to an acoustic tumour in the region between the cerebellum and pons, and marked by ataxia, nystagmus, tinnitus, deafness, disturbances of labyrinth function, and involvement of any of the cranial nerves, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, or tenth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine angle tumour | This is a benign tumour of the 8th cranial nerve that affects approximately 1 out of 100,000 people. This tumour arises from the myelin forming Schwann cells that coat the 8th cranial nerve (acoustic nerve). Clinical presentation usually includes hearing deficit. Diagnosis can be made with auditory evoked potentials and/or MRI scanning of the brain. Vertigo and tinnitus may be associated symptoms. Surgical removal of this tumour involves dissection, cautery and obliteration with laser. Causes: acoustic neuroma (90%), meningioma (7%), epidermoid (3%), uncommon: metastasis, trigeminal neuroma, arachnoid cyst, aneurysm, vertebro-basilar dolichoectasia (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellopontine | Relating to the cerebellum and the pons; denoting especially the cerebellopontine recess or angle between these two structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cerebellopontine cisternography | The radiographic study of the cerebellopontine angle and contiguous structures after the introduction of a radiopaque contrast medium into the subarachnoid space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine recess | The angle formed at the junction of cerebellum, pons, and medulla. Synonym: pontocerebellar recess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acromial angle | The prominent angle at the junction of the posterior and lateral borders of the acromion. Synonym: angulus acromialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute angle | Any angle less than 90 |
| acute angle closure glaucoma | <ophthalmology> An increase in pressure within the anterior chamber of the eye. There are two forms of glaucoma: acute angle closure and open angle glaucoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adjacent angle | An angle with a line in common with another angle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha angle | The angle between the visual and optic axes as they cross at the nodal point of the eye, the angle between the visual line and the major axis of the corneal ellipse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar angle | The angle between the horizontal plane and a line connecting the base of the nasal spine and the middle point of the projection of the alveolus of the maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle | 1. To fish with an angle (fishhook), or with hook and line. 2. <geometry> The figure made by two lines which meet. The difference of direction of two lines. In the lines meet, the point of meeting is the vertex of the angle. 3. A projecting or sharp corner; an angular fragment. "Though but an angle reached him of the stone." (Dryden) Curvilineal angle, one formed by two curved lines. External angles, angles formed by the sides of any right-lined figure, when the sides are produced or lengthened. Internal angles, those which are within any right-lined figure. Mixtilineal angle, one formed by a right line with a curved line. Oblique angle, one acute or obtuse, in opposition to a right angle. Obtuse angle, one greater than a right angle, or more than 90 deg . Rectilineal or Right-lined angle, one formed by two right lines. Right angle, one formed by a right line falling on another perpendicularly, or an angle of 90 deg (measured by a quarter circle). Solid angle, the figure formed by the meeting of three or more plane angles at one point. Spherical angle, one made by the meeting of two arcs of great circles, which mutually cut one another on the surface of a globe or sphere. Visual angle, the angle formed by two rays of light, or two straight lines drawn from the extreme points of an object to the center of the eye. 4. <astronomy> A name given to four of the twelve astrological houses. Origin: F. Angle, L. Angulus angle, corner; akin to uncus hook, Gr. Bent, crooked, angular, a bend or hollow, AS. Angel hook, fish-hook, G. Angel, and F. Anchor. (16 Mar 1998) |
| angle closure glaucoma | <ophthalmology> Primary glaucoma in which contact of the iris with the peripheral cornea excludes aqueous humor from the trabecular drainage meshwork causing a sudden blockage of the normal fluid circulation within the eyeball resulting in increased intraocular pressure. Increased pressure within the eyeball can cause damage to the optic nerve and blindness. Symptoms include severe eye or facial pain, nausea, vomiting, decreased vision, blurred vision and seeing halos around objects. The eye appears red with a steamy cornea and a fixed (nonreactive) dilated pupil. Treatment is emergent with medications to lower the pressure within the eye. Synonym: acute glaucoma, closed-angle glaucoma, narrow-angle glaucoma. (14 Aug 2000) |

| angle of anomaly | <ophthalmology> An obsolete term for the degree of deviation from parallelism of the visual axes of the eyes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of antetorsion | <orthopaedics> The angle formed by a line drawn through the centre of the long axis of the neck of the femur meeting a line drawn in the transverse axis of the condyles, when the bone is viewed from above, looking straight down through the head of the femur. It is used to illustrate the normal degree of anteversion about 12 |
| angle of anteversion | <orthopaedics> The angle formed by a line drawn through the centre of the long axis of the neck of the femur meeting a line drawn in the transverse axis of the condyles, when the bone is viewed from above, looking straight down through the head of the femur. It is used to illustrate the normal degree of anteversion about 12 |
