autopsia
1. Personal observation.
2. An ocular view.
3. A postmortem examination.
autopsy, autoptical, autoptically
1. An exhaustive critical personal examination or inspection of something.
2. The medical examination of a dead body in order to establish the cause and circumstances of death; also referred to as, "remains to be seen".
Autopsy: remains to be seen.
—Leonard L. Levinson
Another definition of autopsy: the examination, after death, of an animal body, usually human, with the intent of determining the cause of death, the extent of a disease or injuries, the effect of therapy, and the existence of any previously unrecognized antemortem pathological condition.
Also known as: necropsy, necroscopy, sectio cadaveris, thanatopsy, thanatopsia, necrotomy, postmortem, ptomatopsy, and ptomatopsia.
axanthopsia
A defect of vision in which the retina fails to respond to yellow.
blepharoptosis
1. The drooping of the upper eyelid resulting from paralysis.
2. Drooping of an upper eyelid because of paralysis.
Causes include aging, diabetes, stroke, Horner's syndrome (nerve condition which involves a dropping eyelid), myasthenia gravis (fatigue of certain voluntary muscle groups), brain tumor or cancer.
cacopsia
Bad eyesight, or bad vision, of any kind.
calliopsis
A North American annual plant (Coreopsis tinctoria) widely cultivated for its beautiful showy flower heads with yellow rays and purple-red to brownish centers.
carpoptosis, carpotopsia
A condition resulting from paralysis of the extensor muscles of the hand and fingers; or paralysis of the extensor muscles of the wrist and fingers causing the hand to hang down at the wrist.
