Sequence
Topic: Medicine
From HandWiki - Reading time: 1 min
In medicine, a sequence is a series of ordered consequences due to a single cause.[1] It differs from a syndrome in that seriality is more predictable: if A causes B, and B causes C, and C causes D, then D would not be seen if C is not seen. However, in less formal contexts, the term "syndrome" is sometimes used instead of sequence.
Examples include:
- oligohydramnios sequence[2] (also known as Potter sequence)[3]
- Pierre Robin sequence[4]
- Poland sequence[5]
