fissure [fish´er] 1. a narrow slit or cleft, especially one of the deeper or more constant furrows separating the gyri of the brain.2. a deep cleft in the surface of a tooth, usually due to imperfect fusion of the enamel of the adjoining dental lobes. It can be treated with a dental sealant to decrease risk of caries.abdominal fissure a congenital cleft in the abdominal wall; see also gastroschisis and thoracoceloschisis.

Called also central fissure and central sulcus.fissure of round ligament one on the visceral surface of the liver, lodging the round ligament in the adult.sylvian fissure (fissure of Sylvius) one extending laterally between the temporal and frontal lobes, and turning posteriorly between the temporal and parietal lobes.transverse fissure 1. porta hepatis.2. the transverse cerebral fissure between the diencephalon and the cerebral hemispheres; called also fissure of Bichat.zygal fissure any of the fissures on the cerebral cortex that consist of two branches connected by a stem.fissure (fish'ur) [L. fissura, cleft] 1. A groove, natural division, cleft, slit, or deep furrow in the brain, liver, spinal cord, and other organs. Synonym: fissura; sulcus2. An ulcer or cracklike sore. 3. A break in the enamel of a tooth. fissural, adjectiveanal fissureA painful linear ulcer on the margin of the anus. It is a common problem in infancy and fairly common in constipated adults. Patient careConservative, nonoperative care heals most anal fissures. Patients should be advised to drink a lot of water to lubricate stools, adopt a high-fiber diet, and take a stool softener to ease the passage of stool. Sitting in a warm bath several times a day may help relax the anal sphincters. Medicated creams or ointments may provide topical anesthesia to the anus. Patients who do not improve with medical therapies may require local injection of botulinum toxin to relax the sphincters or surgery to repair chronic fissures. anterior median fissureIn the spinal cord, the groove that runs along the ventral midline.auricular fissureA fissure of the petrous portion of the temporal bone.branchial fissure See: cleftBroca's fissure See: Broca, Pierre-PaulBurdach's fissure See: Burdach, Karlcalcarine fissureThe fissure extending from the occipital end of the cerebrum to the occipitoparietal fissure.callosomarginal fissureA conspicuous fissure in the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere running above and concentric with the curved upper surface of the corpus callosum.central fissureRolando fissure.cerebellar fissureA fissure that consists of five deep horizontal (transverse) grooves that separate the cerebellum into its lobes and lobules. Clevenger fissure See: Clevenger fissurecollateral fissureThe fissure on the inferior surface of the cerebral hemisphere separating the subcalcarine and subcollateral gyri. glaserian fissureA narrow slit posterior to the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone. The chorda tympani nerve passes through it. Henle fissure See: Henle, Friedrich J.hippocampal fissureThe fissure extending from the posterior part of the corpus callosum to the tip of the temporal lobe of the brain. horizontal fissureTransverse fissure (3).inferior orbital fissureThe fissure at the apex of the orbit through which the infraorbital blood vessels and maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve pass.interparietal fissureIntraparietal sulcus.lateral fissureFissure of Sylvius.longitudinal fissure1.
