monster. Terata anadidyma, an order of double 



tositic monsters in which there is an upward cleav- 



;e of the cerebro-spinal axes. Fusion has occurred 



the cephalic extremity, with divergence of the 



udal, and, as the result, a double monster is pro- 



ced, single above and double below. T. anaka- 



didyma, an order of double autositic monsters in 



hich there is both upward and downward cleavage 



the cerebro-spinal axes. The two primitive traces 



proach at points in their continuity only, while the 



o extremities diverge. As a result, a double being 



formed, double above and below, with union be- 



een. T. katadidyma, an order of double auto- 



c monsters in which there is a cleft of the cerebro- 



al axes from above downward ; that is, the primi- 



e traces have fused at their caudal extremity, and 



verge in varying degrees as they ascend. The 



result is a double being, separated above and joined 



below. 



Teratic i ter-at' -ik) [repartKdc, monstrous]. Of the 



nature of a teratism ; monstrous. 

 Teratism {ter 1 '-at-izm) [repac, a wonder, marvel, mon- 

 ster]. Any anomaly of conformation, whether con- 

 genital or acquired through disease or injury. Gouley 

 classifies monstrosities as follows : A. Congenital mon- 

 strosities, or vices of primary conformation, grouped as 

 follows : I. The ectrogenic. Those monstrosities in 

 which are absent or defective certain parts belonging 

 to the normal body ; for example, the absence of one 

 kidney, of one or both testicles, of the external uro- 

 genital organs, etc. 2. The symphysic. Those mon- 

 strosities produced by fusion or coalition of organs, 

 such as the kidneys. 3. The ceasmic. Those mon- 

 strosities in which the parts that should be united re- 

 main in their primitive, fissured state, as in hypospadias 

 and epispadias. 4. The atresic. Those monstrosities in 

 which natural openings are occluded, as in imperforate 

 urethra. 5. The hypergenetic . Those monstrosities 

 in which certain parts are disproportionately large, 



I such as the penis, the testicles, etc. 6. The ectopic. 

 Those monstrosities in which one or more than one 

 part may be abnormally placed, such as a kidney or 

 both kidneys, etc. 7. The hermaphroditic. Those 

 monstrosities in which organs of both sexes exist. 

 B. Acquired monstrosities, or those that are the out- 

 come of disease, of violence, or of operations neces- 

 sitated by diseased conditions or injuries. Thev may 

 be grouped as follows: I. The ectrogenic. Those 

 monstrosities caused by the loss of some part from dis- 

 ease, injury, or operation. 2. The symphysic. Those 

 monstrosities produced by the fusion of parts from 

 disease, injury, or operation. 3. The ceasmic. Those 

 monstrosities in which a cleft results through disease, 

 injury, or operation. 4. The atresic. Those monstrosities 

 in which natural openings are occluded through dis- 

 1 «ase, injury, or operation. 5. The hypergenetic. Those 



monstrosities in which certain parts are inordinately 

 enlarged through disease. 6. The ectopic. Those 

 monstrosities in which a part is displaced through dis- 

 ease or injury. Other classifications of monstrosities 

 have been given by Ahlfeld, Bischoff, Blumenbach, 

 Breschet, Buffon, Fisher, Licetus, Meckel, and Otto.
