Label	Id	Description
Vagus Nerve Diseases	D020421	[Diseases of the tenth cranial nerve, including brain stem lesions involving its nuclei (solitary, ambiguus, and dorsal motor), nerve fascicles, and intracranial and extracranial course. Clinical manifestations may include dysphagia, vocal cord weakness, and alterations of parasympathetic tone in the thorax and abdomen.]
Cranial Nerve Neoplasms	D003390	[Benign and malignant neoplasms that arise from one or more of the twelve cranial nerves.]
Peripheral Nervous System Neoplasms	D010524	[Neoplasms which arise from peripheral nerve tissue. This includes NEUROFIBROMAS; SCHWANNOMAS; GRANULAR CELL TUMORS; and malignant peripheral NERVE SHEATH NEOPLASMS. (From DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp1750-1)]
Oculomotor Nerve Injuries	D061220	[Traumatic injuries to the OCULOMOTOR NERVE. This may result in various eye movement dysfunction.]
Oculomotor Nerve Diseases	D015840	[Diseases of the oculomotor nerve or nucleus that result in weakness or paralysis of the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, or levator palpebrae muscles, or impaired parasympathetic innervation to the pupil. With a complete oculomotor palsy, the eyelid will be paralyzed, the eye will be in an abducted and inferior position, and the pupil will be markedly dilated. Commonly associated conditions include neoplasms, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, ischemia (especially in association with DIABETES MELLITUS), and aneurysmal compression. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p270)]
Bursitis	D002062	[Inflammation or irritation of a SYNOVIAL BURSA, the fibrous sac that acts as a cushion between moving structures of bones, muscles, tendons or skin., Inflammation or irritation of a JOINT CAPSULE.]
Craniopharyngioma	D003397	[A benign pituitary-region neoplasm that originates from Rathke's pouch. The two major histologic and clinical subtypes are adamantinous (or classical) craniopharyngioma and papillary craniopharyngioma. The adamantinous form presents in children and adolescents as an expanding cystic lesion in the pituitary region. The cystic cavity is filled with a black viscous substance and histologically the tumor is composed of adamantinomatous epithelium and areas of calcification and necrosis. Papillary craniopharyngiomas occur in adults, and histologically feature a squamous epithelium with papillations. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch14, p50)]
Neuroectodermal Tumors	D017599	[Malignant neoplasms arising in the neuroectoderm, the portion of the ectoderm of the early embryo that gives rise to the central and peripheral nervous systems, including some glial cells.]
Laboratory Infection	D007757	[Accidentally acquired infection in laboratory workers.]
Craniosynostoses	D003398	[Premature closure of one or more CRANIAL SUTURES. It often results in plagiocephaly. Craniosynostoses that involve multiple sutures are sometimes associated with congenital syndromes such as ACROCEPHALOSYNDACTYLIA; and CRANIOFACIAL DYSOSTOSIS., Premature fusion of the sagittal suture., Premature fusion of one of the coronal sutures., Premature closing of the lambdoid and coronal sutures., Premature fusion of the metopic suture., Premature closing of both sides of the coronal sutures., Premature fusion of one of the lambdoid sutures.]
Synostosis	D013580	[A union between adjacent bones or parts of a single bone formed by osseous material, such as ossified connecting cartilage or fibrous tissue. (Dorland, 27th ed)]
Hemianopsia	D006423	[Partial or complete loss of vision in one half of the visual field(s) of one or both eyes. Subtypes include altitudinal hemianopsia, characterized by a visual defect above or below the horizontal meridian of the visual field. Homonymous hemianopsia refers to a visual defect that affects both eyes equally, and occurs either to the left or right of the midline of the visual field. Binasal hemianopsia consists of loss of vision in the nasal hemifields of both eyes. Bitemporal hemianopsia is the bilateral loss of vision in the temporal fields. Quadrantanopsia refers to loss of vision in one quarter of the visual field in one or both eyes.]
Hemiplegia	D006429	[Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.]
Labyrinth Diseases	D007759	[Pathological processes of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) which contains the essential apparatus of hearing (COCHLEA) and balance (SEMICIRCULAR CANALS).]
Brain Injuries, Traumatic	D000070642	[A form of acquired brain injury which occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain.]
Myasthenia Gravis, Autoimmune, Experimental	D020720	[Any autoimmune animal disease model used in the study of MYASTHENIA GRAVIS. Injection with purified neuromuscular junction acetylcholine receptor (AChR) (see RECEPTORS, CHOLINERGIC) components results in a myasthenic syndrome that has acute and chronic phases. The motor endplate pathology, loss of acetylcholine receptors, presence of circulating anti-AChR antibodies, and electrophysiologic changes make this condition virtually identical to human myasthenia gravis. Passive transfer of AChR antibodies or lymphocytes from afflicted animals to normals induces passive transfer experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1997, Ch 54, p3)]
Disease Models, Animal	D004195	[Naturally-occurring or experimentally-induced animal diseases with pathological processes analogous to human diseases.]
Thyroid Cancer, Papillary	D000077273	[An ADENOCARCINOMA that originates from follicular cells of the THYROID GLAND and accounts for the majority of THYROID CANCER cases. Cells exhibit enlarged, oval, or elongated morphologies with clear, round, nuclei. Fusions of RET, NTRK1, TPM3, and PCM1 genes are associated with this cancer.]
Thyroid Neoplasms	D013964	[Tumors or cancer of the THYROID GLAND.]
Adenocarcinoma, Papillary	D000231	[An adenocarcinoma containing finger-like processes of vascular connective tissue covered by neoplastic epithelium, projecting into cysts or the cavity of glands or follicles. It occurs most frequently in the ovary and thyroid gland. (Stedman, 25th ed)]
