Clinodactyly: Curving of the fifth finger (the little finger) toward the fourth finger (the ring finger). Sometimes called "fifth finger clinodactyly" to distinguish it from similar curving of other finger or toes. \n\nClinodactyly is a minor congenital malformation (birth defect). The basis for the clinodactyly is that the middle bone in the fifth finger is underdeveloped and, instead of being rectangular, is wedge- shaped. \n\nClinodactyly may occur as an isolated finding in a person who is entirely normal or it may be found in association with other congenital malformations and, sometimes, mental retardation. It is a common component of Down (trisomy 21) syndrome and Klinefelter (XXY) syndrome. No treatment is required for clinodactyly. \n\n"Clinodactyly" is derived from the Greek "klinein" (to bend, slope or incline) and "dactylos" (finger, toe). Other English words formed from "klinein" include "clinocephaly" (a condition that causes skull depression or flatness) and "clinophobia" (fear of going to bed--that is, to bend the head to a pillow.) Other English words formed from "dactylos" include "dactylogram" (fingerprint) and "dactylography" (the study of fingerprints

I don't know the name of this condition; but it appears to be some sort of muscoskeletal disorder.\n\nWasn't she in a Marilyn Manson video?  Dope Show, maybe?

I had the same symptoms as a child and it did turn out to be a tumor. It is still there because the risk to take were to great. It started when I was 11 or 12 . I am 32 now so dont getstressed about it being a tumor. Watch her motor skills as well. When cutting paper for some reason it would happen to me as well. A simple CT scan can find it but dont start there. First check vision and sinus tract first. Again there is cause for concern but if you get scary responses on here dont freak out and just follow the steps until the problem is resolved.

Hemoptysis is the technical term.  Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that arises primarily from gladular tissue.  it has nothing to do with the Adenoids of Tonsils and Adenoids fame.\n\nThis person should be seeking quaified medical advice and evaluation for this.  If he already knows that he has cancer, his doctor(s) are more than able to help him out and should be doing so.  If he feels they are not answering his questions adequately he really shoud remind them of thier duty to do so.\n\nBest wishes

Acrodysostosis \n\n\nImportant \n\nIt is possible that the main title of the report Acrodysostosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. \n\n\n\nSynonyms \n\nPNM \nPeripheral Dysostosis-Nasal Hypoplasia-Mental Retardation \nDisorder Subdivisions \n\nNone \nGeneral Discussion \n\nAcrodysostosis is an extremely rare skeletal disorder characterized by abnormally short and malformed bones of the hands and feet (peripheral dysostosis) and underdevelopment of the nose (nasal hypoplasia). Other findings may include progressive growth delays, short stature, and/or unusual head and facial (craniofacial) features. Affected infants may exhibit premature maturation of bones of the hands and feet, malformation and shortening of the forearm bones (radius and ulna) near the wrist, and/or abnormally short fingers and toes (brachydactyly). Characteristic facial features may include a flattened, underdeveloped (hypoplastic) "pug" nose, an underdeveloped upper jaw bone (maxilliary hypoplasia), widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), and/or an extra fold of skin on either side of the nose that may cover the eyes' inner corners (epicanthal folds).\n\n\n\nAcrodysostosis is usually accompanied by moderate mental retardation and learning difficulties. It may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait in some cases, although no gene has yet been identified with this disorder. Acrodysostosis seems to be associated in some cases with advanced parental age.

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is a condition in which bacteria, usually from a pelvic infection, spread through the abdomen and cause inflammation of the tissue surrounding the liver. It occurs in 15-30% of women with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), but may also occur in women without PID, and in men. \nSymptoms\nIn Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, the inflammation of the liver tissue leads to the formation of abnormal tissue connections (adhesions) between the outside of the liver and the inside of the abdomen. In some individuals, these adhesions cause no symptoms. Others have severe pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, over the gallbladder. The pain may move to the right shoulder. Sometimes the pain increases with coughing, sneezing, or movement. \n\nSince the source of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is most often a pelvic infection, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, chills, fever, and headaches may be present. \n\nDiagnosis\nIn general, a physician cannot see or feel the presence of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, so upper abdominal pain may suggest the diagnosis. \n\nThe presence of a pelvic infection would also provide a clue to the diagnosis, but without PID the diagnosis may be difficult, since many conditions can cause abdominal pain. In women, cervical cultures for two particular pelvic infections, chlamydia and gonorrhea, will be done, since these infections are the most common causes of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. If infection is present, the white blood cell count (WBC) in the blood will be high, as will the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). \nThe physician will examine the individual for common conditions which have symptoms similar to Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, such as gallstones, liver inflammation (hepatitis), kidney stones or infection, and stomach ulcer. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan can help rule out these disorders. A chest x-ray can rule out pneumonia as a cause of pain with coughing or sneezing. \n\nLaparoscopy confirms diagnosis\nThe best way to confirm a diagnosis of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is by the physician taking a look inside the body at the outside of the liver. This is done by inserting a camera inside the abdomen, called laparoscopy. The physician can see the adhesions on the outside of the liver, which have a typical stringy look (called "violin-string" adhesions). \n\nTreatment\nTreatment for the individual with Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome consists of antibiotics for the infection and pain medicine. Once the infection is cleared up, the symptoms resolve. Since chlamydia and gonorrhea are spread through sexual contact, the individual must restrict her/his sexual activity until the infection is gone, and the individual's sexual partner(s) must also be treated.

its called a philtrum...\n\nThe philtrum (Greek philtron, "love potion") is the vertical groove in the upper lip, formed where the nasomedial and maxillary processes meet during embryonic development. When these processes fail to fuse fully, a cleft lip (sometimes called a "hare lip") can result. The ancient Greeks used to believe that this benign spot was one of the most erogenous spots on the human body, hence the etymology.\n\nThe lack of a philtrum can be considered a symptom of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Hystricomorphy, a unique muskoskeletal pattern involving the jaw, enables the mouth to be opened in a large gape. \n\nHystricomorphy is characteristic of the hystricomorph rodents, but has also now been found in the extinct saber-toothed Barbourofelis. \n\nAlthough it is believed that a highly-detailed phylogenetic analysis should spot the independent acquisition of the two complexes of traits, it is acknowledged that supposedly-unique character complexes could arise through convergence and ‘fool’ the evolutionist into believing that they had arisen from common ancestry.

I do.  Hi, nice to meet another chiarian. How is life for you?  I have been diagnosed with ACM since 1999.
