meatal or medial - tracy

Posted: Nov 16, 2009

They seem to both make sense, which would you go with?

Nasoendoscopy is performed which demonstrates scarring of the left middle turbinate to the [medial or meatal] wall of the maxillary sinus.

I'd say medial wall, with turbinate, usual say middle meatus. - n/m

MIDDLE wall, I mean; sorry. - n/m

ignore this; as Mother Dearest would say: Well You Really Screwed That One Up. - n/m

meatal or medial - 1mt

I would say medial since it's referring to the "wall" of the sinus. I don't think meatal would make sense. Meatal means referring to the meatus or opening.

Sounds like my ortho doc is saying "Previous arthroscopy two years ago did show an area of exposed "ingranated" bone within the medial compartment".
