Anisometry
Definition
A lack of metric symmetry; structural inequality found when measuring paired dimensions, axes, or segments. In crystallography, it denotes the characteristic of a crystal lattice of having axes of different lengths in space. In medicine, the term can be used as a rare synonym or correlate for volume or length discrepancies of symmetrical anatomical segments.
