Arcus senilis; Other names: arcus adiposus, arcus juvenilis, arcus lipoides corneae, arcus cornealis: Arcus senilis deposits tend to start at 6 and 12 o'clock and progress until becoming completely circumferential. The thin clear section separating the arcus from the limbus is known as the clear interval of Vogt. Specialty: Ophthalmology Symptoms
Hyperlipidemia is abnormally high levels of any or all lipids (e.g. fats, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids) or lipoproteins in the blood. [2] The term hyperlipidemia refers to the laboratory finding itself and is also used as an umbrella term covering any of various acquired or genetic disorders that result in that finding. [3]
The genesis of the syndrome is unknown, however it has been suggested that inflammation of the arcus tendon is the possible cause of levator ani syndrome. [5] Proctalgia fugax and levator ani syndrome have not been found to be of psychosomatic origin, although stressful events may trigger attacks. [ 3 ]
Inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDDs), sometimes called Idiopathic (IIDDs) due to the unknown etiology of some of them, are a heterogenous group of demyelinating diseases - conditions that cause damage to myelin, the protective sheath of nerve fibers - that occur against the background of an acute or chronic inflammatory process.
Osteochondritis is a painful type of osteochondrosis where the cartilage or bone in a joint is inflamed. [1]It often refers to osteochondritis dissecans (OCD).

Some causes or potential risk factors denoting a higher chance of developing childhood arthritis have been identified. [7] However, similar to other autoimmune diseases, the exact cause or mechanism for development is still largely unknown and additional associations are continuously being researched and discovered.
Autosomal dominant leukodystrophy with autonomic disease is a rare neurological condition of genetic origin which is characterized by gradual demyelination of the central nervous system which results in various impairments, including ataxia, mild cognitive disability and autonomic dysfunction.
Acromesomelic dysplasia is a rare skeletal disorder that causes abnormal bone and cartilage development, leading to shortening of the forearms, lower legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes. [2] Five different genetic mutations have been implicated in the disorder.
