ATRESIC TERATOSIS Meaning and
Definition
-
Atresic teratosis is a medical term that refers to a rare congenital disorder characterized by the formation of abnormal, obstructive, or underdeveloped structures in the body. It is typically seen in infants, and it affects various organs or body systems.
The word "atresic" primarily describes the condition of atresia, which is the absence or closure of a normal body passage or duct that should be open. This implies that atresic teratosis involves the development of abnormal, closed, or blocked passages or structures in the affected organs.
"Teratosis" is a term derived from the word "teratogen," which refers to any agent that can cause abnormal development of the embryo or fetus. "Teratosis" therefore indicates the presence of abnormal structures or growths resulting from the influence of these teratogens during the early stages of fetal development.
In summary, atresic teratosis is a term used to describe a rare congenital disorder characterized by the abnormal development of certain structures or passages, leading to their closure or obstruction. This can affect various organs or systems in the body and is typically observed in infants. The abnormalities seen in this condition are believed to result from the exposure to teratogens during fetal development.
