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.

And I was wondering if he may be referring to a dept at hospital for prosthesis fitting, as he later mentions IPOF/IPOP again as a consultation.
I'm thinking that the doc may not have completed his train of thought. He goes from saying the patient has what he thinks is a MRSA infection just above the stump, then he's dictating something else. Previous notes are no help, as they read as a disjointed thought process as well.
Oh well - thanks for your help!

I found both Meyerson and Myerson signs in my Surgical Word Book
Subject: I found both Meyerson and Myerson signs in my Surgical Word Book
According to Google, they seem to both have the same definition.
Myerson's sign is a medical condition where a patient is unable to resist blinking when tapped on the glabella, the area above the nose and between the eyebrows. It is often an early symptom of Parkinson's disease.
Snout Reflex: percuss the upper lip near the midline - pursing or puckering of lips; glabellar reflex (=Meyerson's sign) - percuss on forehead in the middle above eyes: produces continued blinking with each tap. Also seen in Parkinson's. Grasp Reflex - stroke the mid-palm upward to fingers; you may warn the patient not to hold on.
Since, the doc is spelling Meyerson, I would give him that one.
Crazy huh?
