ostiomeatal (os�tio�me�a�tal) (os�te-o-me-a�təl) [ostium + meatal] pertaining to an opening (ostium) and a meatus, especially in the nasal cavity. (it has nothing to do with bone --osteo--just the point where the area (complex) where the sinus ostia drain) hope that helps! :)

It's ostiomeatal. See Vera Pyle.
Subject: It's ostiomeatal. See Vera Pyle.

ostiomatal: denoting the opening of the auditory, nasal, or urinary meatus; does not have anything to do with osteo (bone). Vera Pyle, Current Medical Terminology, 5th Edition.

The root word is ostium, which is certainly a word! It's in my Dorland's, and means: a door or opening; used in anatomical nomenclature as a general term to designate an opening into a tubular organ, or between 2 distinct cavities within the body. Called also orificuium, orifice, and opening.

Stedman's Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words, 3rd Edition, specifically lists ostiomeatal complex, stent, and unit.

mucoperiosteal (mu�co�peri�os�te�al) (mu�ko-per�e-os�te-əl) consisting of mucous membrane and periosteum.

mucoperiosteum (mu�co�peri�os�te�um) (mu�ko-per�e-os�te-əm) periosteum having a mucous surface, as in parts of the auditory apparatus.

I was text typing from Vera Pyle instead of looking at the screen. Oops.

Ostiomeatal or osteomeatal? Mucoperiosteal or mucoperiostial?
Subject: Ostiomeatal or osteomeatal? Mucoperiosteal or mucoperiostial?

I always typed "osteomeatal" until a coworker said a radiologist she worked for said it should be "ostiomeatal," referring to the ostium.

I know there is a periosteum, but when a radiologist says "mucoperiosteal," is he/she referring to the ostium or the periosteum?

I'm soooo confused....
