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.

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....


Excuse me, but where above posted
Subject: Excuse me, but where above posted

by the administrator??? I am giving my point of view and no I am not repeating anything. I am saying it differently and it cannot hurt. Is it okay for posters to give WRONG ANSWERS? why are you not telling them enough already and give it a rest???

How come when you see the same answer on the help board over and over again, why are you not piping in telling them they are giving redundant anwers?

This subject must have hit a nerve with you.

I will not give anything a rest. Thank you. Have a nice day.
