Neuroforamina vs neural foramina

We're having a "discussion" here. Can someone tell me what is the preferred?

Neuroforamina vs neural foramina
Subject: Neuroforamina vs neural foramina

I understand that one is singular and the other is pleural. The MTs in the hospital where I now work are telling me that it's okay to type "neuroforamina" and I was told that is incorrect -- that it should be "neural foramina." I suppose it should be the same as for the singular form, but we just need some confirmation or judgment as to which is now the preferred way to type this. I know that 30+ years ago, I was told that neuroforamen *and* neuroforamina were okay. I don't believe tha anymore and do believe that neural foramina is the correct way to type it. Anyone with a definite on this? Thanks -- Karen

Wow!  The site really messed up my posted message.  Anyone know why it jammed all the words together and took some words out?  The original message that I typed and can still view is correct.  This is my first post, so am I just doing something wrong?  Thanks for your help, if you can.

neural foramina
Subject: neural foramina

Correct way is neural foramina (pleural) and neural foramen (singular)
neural foramina
Subject: neural foramina

It's neural foramina.  And "pleural" is only spelled this way if it means the thorax or chest cavity.  That was probably just a typo in your original message and you meant to type "plural," meaning more than one.  I've been a Texas state-certified court reporter and national-certified court reporter for 25 years.  The proper terms are "neural foramina," (that is the plural form) and "neural foramen" (that is the singular form) although you will see them misspelled as neuroforamina all the time.

Subject: uterus was palpable, s/l ring incised-sm

I don't know if he is saying something like ring incised or ring sized.

Past history says: She had four cesarean sections, laparoscopic tubal sterilization, and a laparotomy with left oophorectomy and abdominoplasty.

In pelvic exam: PELVIC: Skene, urethral, and Bartholin glands within normal limits. Vagina, good support. Cervix was closed. No lesions were seen. Uterus was palpable, ______. s/l "ring incised" or "ring sized."

Could he be saying "ring incised" meaning he feels the incision from previous surgeries. Could it be he is saying uterus is "ring sized?"
