Leontiasis ossea, the Glossary

Leontiasis ossea, also known as leontiasis, lion face or lion face syndrome, is a rare medical condition, characterized by an overgrowth of the facial and cranial bones.^[1]

Cerebrum

The cerebrum (cerebra), telencephalon or endbrain is the largest part of the brain containing the cerebral cortex (of the two cerebral hemispheres), as well as several subcortical structures, including the hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb.

See Leontiasis ossea and Cerebrum

Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia

Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia (CDD), also known as lionitis, is an extremely rare autosomal recessive bone disorder that causes calcium to build up in the skull, disfiguring the facial features and reducing life expectancy. Leontiasis ossea and Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia are rare diseases.

See Leontiasis ossea and Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia

Exophthalmos

Exophthalmos (also called exophthalmus, exophthalmia, proptosis, or exorbitism) is a bulging of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit.

See Leontiasis ossea and Exophthalmos

Face

The face is the front of an animal's head that features the eyes, nose and mouth, and through which animals express many of their emotions.

See Leontiasis ossea and Face

Fibrous dysplasia of bone

Fibrous dysplasia is a very rare nonhereditary genetic disorder where normal bone and marrow is replaced with fibrous tissue, resulting in formation of bone that is weak and prone to expansion.

Great Sphinx of Giza

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion.

Human nose

The human nose is the first organ of the respiratory system.

Hutan Ashrafian

Hutan Ashrafian is an academic, cardiothoracic surgeon, robotic surgeon, bariatric surgeon, computational biologist, immunologist, entrepreneur, historian, writer, martial artist and philosopher.

Hyperparathyroidism

Hyperparathyroidism is an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the blood.

See Leontiasis ossea and Hyperparathyroidism

Maxilla

In vertebrates, the maxilla (maxillae) is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones.

See Leontiasis ossea and Maxilla

Optic nerve

In neuroanatomy, the optic nerve, also known as the second cranial nerve, cranial nerve II, or simply CN II, is a paired cranial nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

See Leontiasis ossea and Optic nerve

Paget's disease of bone

Paget's disease of bone (commonly known as Paget's disease or, historically, osteitis deformans) is a condition involving cellular remodeling and deformity of one or more bones.

See Leontiasis ossea and Paget's disease of bone

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is a form of fibrous dysplasia affecting more than one bone.

See Leontiasis ossea and Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia

Prognathism

Prognathism is a positional relationship of the mandible or maxilla to the skeletal base where either of the jaws protrudes beyond a predetermined imaginary line in the coronal plane of the skull.

See Leontiasis ossea and Prognathism

Renal osteodystrophy

Renal osteodystrophy is currently defined as an alteration of bone morphology in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

See Leontiasis ossea and Renal osteodystrophy

Respiration (physiology)

In physiology, respiration is the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues, and the removal of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction to the surrounding environment.

See Leontiasis ossea and Respiration (physiology)

Skull

The skull is a bone protective cavity for the brain.
