20 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Integrated diagnosis
- A tumor diagnosis combining relevant histological and molecular observations rather than assuming one image supplies every defining genetic feature.
- IDH mutation
- A molecular feature with a specific role in diffuse-glioma classification, distinct from an imaging sign or a universal treatment-response guarantee.
- Whole-arm codeletion
- Loss involving the relevant entire chromosome arms in a defined molecular classification, not simply any small deletion within those regions.
- MGMT methylation
- A promoter-related biomarker interpreted in the relevant tumor and treatment context, distinct from a defining oligodendroglioma lineage marker.
- Simpson grade
- A description of meningioma resection extent and treatment of attachments or involved structures, separate from the pathological WHO tumor grade.
- Eloquence
- Functional importance of tissue or pathways in planning, assessed with the actual task and anatomy rather than one fixed distance alone.
- Cortical venous reflux
- An abnormal venous drainage relationship relevant to fistula risk assessment when the actual shunt and flow pattern have been established.
- Spetzler-Martin grade
- A framework using malformation size, eloquence and venous drainage to support discussion of microsurgical risk rather than annual hemorrhage prediction alone.
- Cavernous malformation
- A vascular lesion with characteristic possible imaging features whose treatment depends on location, symptoms and risk rather than the name alone.
- Myelopathy
- A spinal-cord dysfunction pattern assessed through motor, sensory, reflex and functional findings, distinct from an isolated peripheral nerve deficit.
- Radiculopathy
- Dysfunction in a spinal-root distribution interpreted with the actual motor, reflex and sensory pattern and possible competing localizations.
- Neurogenic shock
- Circulatory compromise related to lost sympathetic control in the appropriate neurological injury, distinct from the reflex depression of spinal shock.
- Autonomic dysreflexia
- An exaggerated autonomic response in a susceptible spinal-injury setting, requiring assessment of the actual trigger and clinical danger.
- CPP
- Cerebral perfusion pressure calculated from relevant arterial and intracranial pressure measurements under the stated convention and interpreted with the clinical context.
- Monro-Kellie model
- A constrained-compartment model relating intracranial components and compensatory reserve, whose assumptions must fit the actual anatomical setting.
- Overdrainage
- Excessive cerebrospinal-fluid diversion relative to the clinical situation, potentially contributing to postural symptoms and other complications requiring assessment.
- ETV
- Endoscopic third ventriculostomy, an alternative cerebrospinal-fluid communication for selected obstructive settings rather than a universal solution to all hydrocephalus.
- Seizure-onset zone
- The region in which observed seizures begin under the relevant assessment, not necessarily identical to every interictal abnormality or structural lesion.
- Disconnection
- A surgical strategy interrupting relevant network pathways, conceptually distinct from removing an entire lesion or providing stimulation.
- Clinical confounder
- A factor such as sedation or metabolic derangement that can alter examination or monitoring findings and limit the conclusion drawn from them.
