Parsons window -- thanks!
Subject: Parsons window -- thanks!

The uncinate process was removed anteriorly.  A Parsons window was created.  The microdebrider was then used to remove the uncinate process extending superiorly to expose the agger nasi cell and inferiorly to expose a very congested maxillary ostium.  Soft tissue edema was debrided from the area. 


I'll go with Parsons window, after the ENT surgeon.  Thanks all!

There is a medial compartment and a lateral compartment where the femur meets the tibia, and it sounds like the doctor is specifying the proximal portion of the medial compartment. Adding "tibial" does make it sound strange....


Hope this helps.

Help on CT results
Subject: Help on CT results

This is a woman with Stage IV malignant mesothelioma.  I'm a little lost on the CT results here.  For part of it I got the words I think, but since I don't totally understand it I'm not sure exactly where commas go, etc.  Then there's the part where I'm not getting the words.  I'll put that part in brackets.  So here goes if anyone can help. 


"On the CT, the impression is chronic occlusion of the central left internal jugular and brachiocephalic (actually sounds more like bronchocephalic but that doesn't seem to be a word so does brachiocephalic make sense here?) right subclavian [vena porous SVC with compression against noticed?] and tracheal deviation."

help on MRI of the head results
Subject: help on MRI of the head results

The patient had an MRI with gadolinium of the head.  I'm having some trouble understanding the results because this is unfamiliar to me.  She is a cancer patient with metastatic melanoma and the MRI was ordered due to severe vomiting and blurry vision.  He says the MRI "revealed no definite metastatic disease, significant [s/l hypotense? maybe hypodense or hypertensive?] [s/l mara signal?] of the cervical spine of unclear significance, heterogeneous [s/l coabnormality?], for which in matter of fact these cannot be excluded."  That last phrase sounds a little weird too, but I'm pretty sure that's what he says.  Any ideas?
