Epitympanitis is a medical term that can be associated with a variety of conditions and diseases related to the ear and hearing.
Along with paraproctitis, a disease characterized by the formation of abscesses in the coccyx area, not associated with the rectum, is widespread - epithelial coccygeal passage.
Damage to the epiphyseal cartilage or epiphyseal plate at the junction of the metaphysis and epiphysis of the tibia - with separation (detachment) of cartilage tissue - is defined as epiphyseolysis of the tibia.
One of such injuries is epiphyseolysis of the radius, associated with injury to the cartilage tissue in the area of the junction of the epiphysis and metaphysis of the tubular bone.
When a fracture of the humerus of the upper extremity is accompanied by damage to the region of its metaepiphysis, leading to displacement of a thin layer of hyaline cartilage - the epiphyseal plate (cartilaginous growth plate), epiphyseolysis of the humerus in children is diagnosed.
Displacement or detachment of the neocostal epiphyseal plate (sprout cartilage) - epiphyseolysis in children - can be detected in cases of tubular bone fractures in the metaepiphyseal region where this cartilaginous plate is located.
Acute epiglottitis is a laryngeal disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b, leading to acute respiratory failure (acute respiratory failure of the obstructive type). Children aged 2-12 years are most often affected, and adults are rarely affected.
Epidermal nevus is a benign developmental defect, which, as a rule, has a dysembryogenetic origin. Three forms of nevus are known: localized, inflammatory, systemic. All of them appear at birth or in early childhood.
