I don't know how accurate that is, but I've been told this by several radiologists - some nice and some not so nice!

it was foramen of Magendie!
Subject: it was foramen of Magendie!
that was a new one for me, but kept googling until I figured it out! Thanks for your help, I did not think it was bigeminy either, but that was what it sounded like. He is an ESL neurosurgeon and very difficult to understand.

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.

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

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

neuroforaminal vs neural foraminal
Subject: neuroforaminal vs neural foraminal
I know I am responding to a very old post, but those of you who use "neural foraminal" as opposed to "neuroforaminal" in your transcriptions are correct. I am a Certified Court Reporter in the state of Texas and a Registered Professional Court Reporter at the national level. I've been so-licensed for 25 years, and I always see the two-word error. And it's AMAZING how often the radiologists are incorrect and ESPECIALLY their staff. Though using the medical combining forms is often the most common, in this case, it is incorrect. But, like some of the others said in their posts, who's going to argue with the doc?
Congrats on standing up for yourself!

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.
Proper is neural foraminal stenosis.
Subject: Proper is neural foraminal stenosis.
Neuroforaminal stenosis is acceptable if okay with your account specifics. It is considered a neologism.

Neuroforaminal versus neural foraminal (warning: rant ahead)
Subject: Neuroforaminal versus neural foraminal (warning: rant ahead)
I know this has been discussed before, but I have never typed anything except "neural foraminal," and when I first started with this particular account, all the templates had "neural foraminal stenosis" as one of the headings on the spine CTs and MRIs.
Now the "billing and coding specialist" who is in charge of the account (and who is obviously not a trained transcriptionist - she typed "flebolith" on one report I saw), has changed all the templates to "neuroforaminal," and when I just changed them back, she sent me a nasty little note saying "Don't change the templates."
Well, you should have seen the sorry state the templates were in when I started here. I have spent hours of my OWN time (I am paid by the line) not only cleaning up the templates but also standardizing the naming of the templates so that they can be found easily using the wild card notation.
I am tempted to send an email back saying, "Okay, I'll leave them that way, but 'neuroforaminal' is incorrect" but I am leaving this account as soon as they have my replacement trained.
In fact, I just sent it. I'm leaving, got nothing to lose, and actually have more work than I can comfortably handle right now. I really wish she would tell me she didn't need me any more. 
Oh, I just got her reply: "Actually, no it is not [incorrect]. That is how it was always spelled before we hired ____________ [MTSO] and that is how all of the rads wanted it spelled."
So be it.
