Tissue checks?
Subject: Tissue checks?

Dr. Says:  It is tender to palpation about the left LS spine, as well as the superior and posterior iliac crest.  There is slight fullness to this area.  There is no tissue (s/l checks or changes) or erythema.  She has a decreased range of motion about the LS spine, secondary to pain. 


No idea on this one.  Not even sure where to research.

Page 194 in Stedman's Radiology book is concha bullosa or pleural form is conchae bullosa....


Also found this out...


Concha Bullosa
A concha bullosa (CB) is a common anatomical variation that occurs when an air pocket forms in the middle turbinate.

On a CT scan, a concha bullosa looks almost like a small balloon with a thin, bony lining. If you develop this condition, you may be symptom-free, or you may have facial pain and pressure and nasal blockage. A concha bullosa is easily corrected with endoscopic sinus surgery.
Hope this helps!!!
