sclerae
Subject: sclerae

''Sclerae'' is plural (I'm trying to think of an example of the -ae ending we use everyday to help you remember, but all I'm coming up with is ''antennae'' and most people say ''antennas'' so that doesn't help...). Luckily, most things to do with the sclerae involve both eyes, so you should be safe almost always using the plural (man, I have now spelled that twice as ''pleural''!) unless the doctor specifically mentions just one eye.

You are right with the sclerae. That is what I first thought to, but when I saw the skin, I was not sure, so I had to ask to clarify.

Any help on this would be appreciated. This is a neurology history and physical and the doc is dictating the Assessment/Plan. She states, "This patient with a _________ imbalance. She did have normal imaging before, but did not get a MRA". My brain is mush and I just cannot understand what type of imbalance she is referring to. Thank you for any assistance.

I had to send it back already with blanks and a note to my coordinator for some help. this sounds pretty close, as in the note to the referring physician, he mentioned a urine test for this too. It is hard to believe a one year old baby would have something like this though, but I do appreciate your help. I will let you know when I find out definitely what it is. oh, and I am hopped up on Hershey kisses with caramel, so don't feel bad! LOL. thanks again. I have a feeling this might be it.
