Seddon Syndrome 

A medical condition characterised by Arnold's triad of diarrhoea, palpitations and anxiety. It is seasonal disorder typically more prevalent in the months April-May.

The classical presentation is of a young man with Type 1 Skin, dysarthria, short stature and cachexia.

Management is essentially prophylactic, with long term library attendance shown to be effective in controlling the symptoms. Currently an ongoing trial is comparing the effacy of HDL v MBSL (Heath Duthie Library vs Main Building Science Library). Self administration of Bolus OnExamination has revolutionised the management of the most severe complication of Seddon Syndrome, status examicus.

The disease characteristically follows a chronic, relapsing course. Acute exacerbations are often followed by a recovery phase where they may be excessive drinking and increased promiscuity. Status ladicus has been reported (Case report, Mumby et al 2010). It is believed that this may confer an evolutionary advantage and result in the propogation of the syndrome.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
