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
Cataract, flecked retinopathy, posterior polymorphous dystrophy and corneal arcus juvenilis may be encountered in association with lenticonus anterior that occurs as a part of the Alport syndrome. [2] There exist two distinct types of lenticonus based on the face of the lens affected.
[19] [20] Clinically, the diagnosis of any particular skin condition is made by gathering pertinent information regarding the presenting skin lesion(s), including the location (such as arms, head, legs), symptoms (pruritus, pain), duration (acute or chronic), arrangement (solitary, generalized, annular, linear), morphology (macules, papules ...
Cornea plana 2 (CNA2) is a congenital disorder that causes the cornea to flatten and the angle between the sclera and cornea to shrink. [1] This could result in the early development of arcus lipoides, hazy corneal limbus, and hyperopia. [2] There is evidence that cornea plana 2 is caused by mutations in KERA gene encoding keratocan.

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). The term dissecans refers to the "creation of a flap of cartilage that further dissects away from its underlying subchondral attachments (dissecans)".
Juvenile osteoporosis is osteoporosis in children and adolescents. Osteoporosis is rare in children and adolescents. When it occurs, it is usually secondary to some other condition, [1] e.g. osteogenesis imperfecta, rickets, eating disorders or arthritis.
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 ]
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]
