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.

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

Tessier Surgical Word Book, Third Edition which is the newest edition. Methinks your QA person is wrong (and needs to be brought down a peg or two  ). I think some of this QA people get a wee big headed and think they are always right. Doesn't sound like he's/she's bothering to reference it because if she did, she wouldn't be able to find it.
Go get 'em!

Subject: neurapraxia versus neuropraxia
Any thoughts on this? My SR is bringing it up as "neuropraxia," but the searches on the net that I have done say that is an incorrect spelling and it should be neurapraxia. Funny enough, Stedman's Neurology/Neurosurgery Word book third addition lists them BOTH!  That is what is throwing me. What do you think? Thanks!
