Retina-based paraneoplastic syndromes involving the visual system are relatively rare, but easy to overlook. (reviewofophthalmology.com)
Paraneoplastic syndromes occur in as many as 10 to 15 percent of cancer patients. (reviewofophthalmology.com)
Here we review the retinal-based paraneoplastic syndromes, specifically cancer-associated retinopathy, melanoma-associated retinopathy (a lesser-known entity), paraneoplastic vitelliform maculopathy and bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation. (reviewofophthalmology.com)
Amniotic band syn1
The names amniotic band syndrome (ABS), amniotic disruption complex, and amniochorionic mesoblastic fibrous strings are based on this theory. (wikipedia.org)
Arterioles2
The primary action of norepinephrine is constriction of the arterioles and venules, resulting in increased resistance to blood flow, elevated blood pressure, and slowing of the heart. (unboundmedicine.com)
When given by rapid intravenous injection, it produces a rapid rise in blood pressure, mainly systolic, by (1) direct stimulation of cardiac muscle which increases the strength of ventricular contraction, (2) increasing the heart rate and (3) constriction of the arterioles in the skin, mucosa and splanchnic areas of the circulation.

Distal3
It is a malformation due to intrauterine bands or rings that give deep grooves in, most commonly, distal extremities like fingers and toes. (wikipedia.org)
The constriction of appendages by amniotic bands may result in:[citation needed] Constriction rings around the digits, arms, and legs Swelling of the extremities distal to the point of constriction (congenital lymphedema) Amputation of digits, arms, and legs (congenital amputation) There are three different theories to the cause of the constriction ring syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
Pressure from the bands may potentially cause abnormalities distal to the constriction, such as hemihypertrophy, anterolateral bowing, pseudarthrosis, leg-length discrepancy, and resistant teratologic clubfeet. (medscape.com)
Contractions2
Intermittent myometrial contractions and changes in uterine shape and position are normal during pregnancy. (medscape.com)
for relaxation of uterine musculature and to inhibit uterine contractions. (drugs-library.com)
Streeter dysplasia is a term that historically has been used to describe a complex disorder characterized by constricting rings, acrosyndactyly, or, often, amputations of the extremities of neonates. (medscape.com)
Rupture3
Because ABS is an intrauterine phenomenon probably caused by the rupture of amniotic membranes and constriction of the developing tissue, no medical treatment exists for the condition. (medscape.com)
We herein present a case of uterine rupture with placenta percreta in a pregnant woman who underwent adenomyomectomy twice before pregnancy. (bvsalud.org)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in the second trimester and imminent uterine rupture concomitant with PAS was suspected. (bvsalud.org)
Lymphedema1
Of all the deformities, only the tight constriction bands with gross lymphedema, vascular compromise, or both necessitate immediate surgical release. (medscape.com)
Based on compiled clinical reports and the author's experience, the diagnosis and management of the principal types of both benign and pathologic uterine malpositionings that occur during pregnancy are described in this review. (medscape.com)
Extremities1
If the constriction occurs after development is nearly complete, only fissures, acrosyndactylization, and intrauterine amputation are noted on the extremities as typical manifestations. (medscape.com)
Anatomy1
The anatomy proximal to the site of constriction (or amputation) is developmentally normal. (wikipedia.org)
Defect1
Depending on the severity of the constriction, the defect may be as minimal as a merely cosmetic band. (medscape.com)
Nerve2

A sensory branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V3) It passes through the parotid gland en route to the ear, where it innervates skin of the pinna, external auditory canal, and tympanic membrane. (unboundmedicine.com)
Anomaly2
Since a rare anomaly of the female genital tract was defined as uterine and vaginal duplexes with a developmental anomaly at the vaginovestibular junction, it was morphologically examined in detail in a Japanese Brown calf. (go.jp)
When the uterine contour is distorted by a müllerian anomaly or a strategically placed leiomyoma, or an inflammatory process has occurred in the past (eg, endometriosis or salpingitis with pelvic adhesions), the uterus may become fixed in retroversion/retroflexion and lose its normal mobility. (medscape.com)
Chronic5
to overcome numerous diseases and disorders relating to the immunesystem cardiovascular system digestion weight management diabetes chronic and acute allergies cataracts hearing difficulties stress syndrome,chronic fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, and disorders of the liver. (zhealthinfo.com)
Uncommonly, obstetric complications result from acute or chronic changes in uterine shape or position prior to labor (retroversion or incarceration, prolapse, torsion, herniation or sacculation), during labor (pathologic retractions rings), or postpartum (acute or chronic inversion). (medscape.com)
The resort to surgery for the correction of chronic uterine retroversion in the absence of distinct pathologic process (eg, endometriosis, other inflammatory condition) has fallen into appropriate disrepute. (medscape.com)
Most uncommonly, cases of chronic uterine retroversion/incarceration develop uterine sacculation. (medscape.com)
PERICARDIAL CONSTRICTION: INFLAMMATION Figure 26-7 PERICARDIAL CONSTRICTION: INFLAMMATION Constrictive pericarditis is often accompanied by a chronic, nongranulomatous, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. (arppress.org)
Pregnancy5
[ 1 ] The most common uterine malpositioning seen during pregnancy, retroversion with incarceration, is depicted below. (medscape.com)
Uterine retroversion and incarceration progressing to sacculation as pregnancy advances. (medscape.com)
Fixation of the uterus by adhesions is a risk factor for the rare pregnancy complications of uterine torsion, incarceration, or sacculation. (medscape.com)
When uterine retroversion with incarceration develops for any reason during pregnancy, acute symptoms and serious complications are possible, and initial misdiagnosis is frequent. (medscape.com)
During early pregnancy, uterine retroversion is a normal positional variant. (medscape.com)
Commonly1
The aforementioned posterior pole changes seen with disease progression in CAR have also been described in MAR. 10 Visual field testing most commonly reveals generalized constriction. (reviewofophthalmology.com)
Acute1
In only about 2% of uterine retroversions diagnosed during the first trimester does the condition progress to incarceration associated with urinary retention or other acute symptoms. (medscape.com)
Band2
A vacuum constriction device (VCD) consists of an acrylic cylinder with an external pump and a band. (blkmaxhospital.com)
The VCD is attached externally at the end of the penis and the constriction ring or band is applied to the body by placing it on the cylinder at the other end. (blkmaxhospital.com)
AIDS3
Worldwide, economic costs for asthma are more than those for tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) combined. (medscape.com)
This theory is reinforced by the clinical presentation of the constriction rings with other internal visceral and systematic anomalies. (wikipedia.org)
Asthma is a clinical syndrome characterized by episodic reversible airway obstruction, increased bronchial reactivity, and airway inflammation. (medscape.com)
Cases1
Uterine retroversion in nonpregnant women is now recognized as a normal variant that, in most cases, does not result in symptoms. (medscape.com)
Rare1
Also, more than one extremity is usually affected, and it is rare for only one ring to present as an isolated malformation with no other manifestation of this syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
Normal1
Among healthy women, 1 in 5 have a retroverted uterus either as a normal variant of uterine position or as an acquired condition. (medscape.com)

Bands1
citation needed] Individual strands are small and hard to see on ultrasound, so bands are detected indirectly because of the constrictions and swelling upon limbs or digits. (wikipedia.org)
