SNOMED CT Concept\Body structure\Anatomical or acquired body structure (body structure)\Anatomical structure\...

\Anatomical structure which has as its parts a heterogeneous collection of organs, organ parts, cells, cell parts or body part subdivisions that are adjacent to, or continuous with one another; does not constitute a cell part, cell, tissue, organ, or body part subdivision.\Structure of anatomical compartment (body structure)\Intracranial structure\Brain structure

\An anatomical structure that consists of the maximal set of organ parts so connected to one another that together they constitute a self-contained unit of macroscopic anatomy, distinct both morphologically and functionally from other such units. Together with other organs, an organ constitutes an organ system or a body part. An organ is divisible into organ parts but not organs (examples: femur, biceps, liver, heart, aorta, sciatic nerve, ovary).\Brain and spinal cord structure (body structure)\Brain structure

Syndrome with characteristics of infancy onset hypotonia, feeding difficulties, breathing problems, dysphagia, severely delayed development of speech and motor skills, distinctive facial features, recurrent seizures and seizure-like episodes (muscle jerking, twitching, and stiffening). Brain abnormalities may also be present several of which are caused by reduced production of myelin or delayed maturation of myelin. Caused by a microdeletion occurring on the long (q) arm of chromosome 5 at a position designated q31.3. The deleted region typically contains at least three genes. The loss of one of these genes, PURA, is thought to lead to most of the characteristic features of the condition. The condition is not inherited.
