means all at once.  See link above.

When something happens to a patient after his meeting with the doctor, where and under what title do you put it on your report. I have a patient who passed out while making a follow- up appointment and needed to be sent to the ER. There is a whole paragraph dedicated to this. Where should I put it and under what title? I have already typed the whole visit and he was down to the assessment.

It sounds like "gamminifradiant" surgery on a left basal ganglion surgery.

However it has been a very LONG weekend and I know this is not right but am stuck.

Patient taken to the operating room and underwent a right s/l tereonal craniotomy

I can't find "tereonal"

Patient admitted for cerebellar hemorrhage.

Under procedures:  posterior s/l "pathocraniectomy", evacuation of right cerebellar hemispheric intraparenchymal hemorrhage and s/l "drill" or "dural" augmentation - dictator is a mumble mouth

s/l TEETS?   The aneurysm was noted to be pointing anteriorly.  There were 2 extensions forming TEETS?  One of these appeared to be where the aneurysm had bled. It was densely adherent to the left A2 segment. 

Thanks

He has mild­-to-­moderate spinal stenosis at the L2-­3 level, as well as ____________ with some neuroforaminal encroachment.

This sounds like opraparbobo - granted she is a mush mouth.

Thank you.

s/l anulex.  doc sentence is as follows:  we do attempt to close the annular defect (he is working at the L5-S1 level) with an anulex x-close system (stutter?? states "x" twice)  

Help!  I tried several places and spellings!!

I cannot find this anywhere!  s/l Metrex (not the vitamins) for an interbody fusion procedure of the lumbar spine.  Have any of you had this??

Thanks!  

In an operative report for a cervical laminectomy and fusion, the doc says "the screw holes that had been placed were placed using the s/l Howard On technique with 30 degrees lateral and 15 degree cephalad angulation from the center-center position.

Maybe the word I'm looking for is Howard An because it sounds like he say a-n right after he says the word technique, as if he's spelling An for me.  I can't document this anywhere in my Google search efforts though.

The phrases are:

thin "pledge" of Gel foam

L5 root and "flacum"

Neurosurgery term:  Sounds like "2-0 up-curette?" 

S/l "neuro spung Gelpi" self-retaining retractors.

Help is greatly appreciated.

This sounds new - sounds like a "Bengal" cage.  It's not in my Stedman's Surgical Words, Third Edition, not in my Stedman's on line.  I tried Googling it, which usually works, could not find anything.  Does anyone know the proper spelling for this? - Thanks!

Neurosurgery

she says

cervical spinal cord edema extending up to the s/l (level of the duns.)

CT brain showed central s/l "cortical and cerebellar" involutional changes, old infarct in the territory of the anterior s/l "BR" of the left middle cerebral artery.

Not sure on the wording in first one.  I am coming up with a blank on the second.

The patient has a history of a remote-appearing lacunar infarct within the left frontal lobe adjacent to the left frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle and mild periventricular white matter chronic small-vessel disease on CT scan of the head without contrast.

I am just concerned with the ..periventricular white matter chronic small-vessel disease

How would you type this? the doctor just says it without any pausing.

ahhhhhhh!
