buphthalmos Ophthalm.|bʊfˈθælmɒs|
[ad. Gr. βούϕθαλµον ox-eye, f. βοῦς ox + ὀϕθαλµός eye.]
Gross enlargement of the eyeball owing to increased intra-ocular pressure; now spec. (as a sign of) congenital glaucoma.
1821G. C. Monteath tr. Beer & Weller's Man. Dis. Eye II. 39 In the third species of Dropsy of the Eye, where both the vitreous and the aqueous humour is unnaturally accumulated..the eyeball..not unfrequently attains an enormous size, projects from the orbit, and produces that which many oculists have called the Ox's Eye, Buphthalmos. 1879Ophthalmic Hosp. Rep. IX. 200 In the buphthalmos cases, enlargement of the chamber of the aqueous is the most prominent symptom. 1902Lancet 27 Sept. 867/1 Buphthalmos..in these cases, is a congenital disease... Clinical observers..consider the disease to be glaucoma but occurring in young subjects. 1954S. Duke-Elder Parsons' Dis. Eye (ed. 12) xii. 200 Keratoglobus..differs from buphthalmos..in that the intra-ocular pressure is normal, the cornea clear, the angle of the anterior chamber normal, and there is no cupping of the disc. 1974Passmore & Robson Compan. Med. Stud. III. ii. xxxiii. 21 The high intraocular pressure distends the soft infantile sclera causing gross enlargement of the eye, hence the term buphthalmos or ox-eye. 1983Radiology CXLVI. 113/2 Buphthalmos was present in five patients.
Hence buphˈthalmic a., characterized by or affected with buphthalmos.
1896Trans. Ophthalmol. Soc. U.K. XVI. 349 Mr Devereux Marshall showed a specimen of a buphthalmic eye from a boy aged five years. 1964S. Duke-Elder Syst. Ophthalm. III. xiv. 551 The picture presented by the buphthalmic eye is characteristic. |
