A symptom complex consisting of pain, muscle tenderness, clicking in the joint, and limitation or alteration of mandibular movement.

Etiologic factors are uncertain but include occlusal dysharmony and psychophysiologic factors. |

Postcholecystectomy Syndrome
Postcholedochoduodenostomy Syndrome | Postcholedochojejunostomy Syndrome | Postcholedochostomy Syndrome | Sump Syndrome | Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome | Post-Choledochoduodenostomy Syndrome | Post-Choledochojejunostomy Syndrome
Abdominal sequelae of biliary tract surgery as a result of various biliary tract disorders. Often the same symptoms that are present before the operation recur or postoperative symptoms such as colicky pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting occur. There is pain on palpation of the right upper quadrant and sometimes jaundice. (Magalini, Dictionary of Medical Syndromes, 3d ed) |

Horner Syndrome
Bernard Syndrome | Horner' | s Syndrome | Miosis, Innervational Defect | Oculosympathetic Syndrome | Bernard' | s Syndrome | Claude Bernard-Horner Syndrome | Horner Syndrome, Acquired | Horner Syndrome, Central | Horner' | s Syndrome, Pupil
A syndrome associated with defective sympathetic innervation to one side of the face, including the eye. Clinical features include MIOSIS; mild BLEPHAROPTOSIS; and hemifacial ANHIDROSIS (decreased sweating)(see HYPOHIDROSIS). Lesions of the BRAIN STEM; cervical SPINAL CORD; first thoracic nerve root; apex of the LUNG; CAROTID ARTERY; CAVERNOUS SINUS; and apex of the ORBIT may cause this condition. (From Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, pp500-11) |

Labhart-Willi Syndrome | Royer Syndrome | Labhart-Willi-Prader-Fanconi Syndrome | Royer' | s Syndrome | Labhart Willi Prader Fanconi Syndrome | Labhart Willi Syndrome | Prader Willi Syndrome | Royer Syndromes | Royers Syndrome | Syndrome, Royer
A chromosomal disorder associated with a deletion of the proximal portion of the long arm of chromosome 15 (15q11-q13) in the majority of affected individuals. The abnormalities occur exclusively on the paternally derived chromosome 15. Clinical manifestations include MENTAL RETARDATION, muscular hypotonia, OBESITY, hyperphagia, short stature, hypogonadism, strabismus, and hypersomnolence.

HIV-Associated Lipodystrophy Syndrome
Lipodystrophy Syndrome | HIV Lipodystrophy Syndrome | HIV-Associated Lipodystrophy | HIV Associated Lipodystrophy | HIV Associated Lipodystrophy Syndrome | Lipodystrophy Syndrome, HIV | Lipodystrophy Syndrome, HIV-Associated
Defective metabolism leading to fat maldistribution in patients infected with HIV. The etiology appears to be multifactorial and probably involves some combination of infection-induced alterations in metabolism, direct effects of antiretroviral therapy, and patient-related factors. |

Noonan Syndrome
Turner Syndrome, Male | Turner' | s Syndrome, Male | Male Turner Syndrome | Male Turner' | s Syndrome | Turners Syndrome, Male
A multifaceted disorder that is characterized by short stature, webbed neck, ptosis, skeletal malformations, hypertelorism, hormonal imbalance, CRYPTORCHIDISM, multiple cardiac abnormalities (most commonly including PULMONARY VALVE STENOSIS), and some degree of MENTAL RETARDATION. The phenotype resembles that of TURNER SYNDROME; however, Noonan syndrome occurs in both males and females with a normal sex chromosome constitution (46,XX and 46,XY). Nevertheless, familial studies suggest that the trait is inherited as an autosomal dominant. |

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome
Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome | Bardet Biedl Syndrome | Laurence Moon Bardet Biedl Syndrome | Syndrome, Bardet-Biedl | Syndrome, Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl
An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA; POLYDACTYLY; OBESITY; MENTAL RETARDATION; hypogenitalism; renal dysplasia; and short stature. This syndrome has been distinguished as a separate entity from LAURENCE-MOON SYNDROME. (From J Med Genet 1997 Feb;34(2):92-8) |

Langer-Giedion Syndrome
Acrodysplasia V | Giedion-Langer Syndrome | Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Type II | Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome with Exostoses | Giedion Langer Syndrome | Langer Giedion Syndrome | Syndrome, Giedion-Langer | Syndrome, Langer-Giedion
Autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cone-shaped epiphyses in the hands and multiple cartilaginous exostoses. Mental retardation and abnormalities of chromosome 8 are often present. The exostoses in this syndrome appear identical to those of hereditary multiple exostoses (EXOSTOSES, HEREDITARY MULTIPLE). |
