Cranial nerves..... - numbering
Posted: Nov 10, 2009
I'm thinking the BOS says that both ways are acceptable.... am I wrong?
Cranial nerves II through XII.
Cranial nerves 2-12.
Who know what BOS says these days. I have not - KT
[ In Reply To ..]bought the new one. Really it is client preference if they are not using BOS.
BOS - lex0307
[ In Reply To ..]BOS says both are acceptable. Be consistent and defer to client/facitilty preference. (and I have the new one!!)
copy of what BOS says, sm - fg
[ In Reply To ..]cranial nerves
Use arabic or roman numerals for cranial nerve designations. Be consistent.
(Employer or client will often indicate preference.)
cranial nerve 12 cranial nerve XII
cranial nerves 2-12 cranial nerves II-XII
Ordinals should be expressed using arabic numerals or may be spelled out in full.
12th cranial nerve
or twelfth cranial nerve

Cranial Nerves - Arabic Or Roman #s - ADHI?

I need documentation about cranial nerves. Got QA edited from using roman numerals, i.e. cranial nerves II through XII versus cranial nerves 2 through 12. According to my notes, either is okay, but QA said preferred way is 2 through 12, and I got "edited" for it. Ugh. Anybody? Thanks. ...

Maybe I'm Having Cranial Flatus....Retro-ly
Aug 04, 2011
I am doing an OP report that is not a strict verbatim and is able to be corrected to best English. The dictator says: Tibial guide retrocut was placed, drilled, and then reamed "retro-ly". He stumbled around a bit before settling on "retro-ly" because he, too, knew that couldn't be correct, but he, like me, has blanked on what the heck it should be. Plantar is plantarly, lateral is laterally....what does retro become? Does it just get stretched out to retrograd ...
Basal Versus Basilar Cistern In Cranial CT
Nov 17, 2009
In a cranial CT I have always transcribed "basal" cistern, but in the report I have, the doctor clearly is stating "basilar" cistern. The Stedman's electronic dictionary I have shows "basal" cistern also. Can someone tell me which is correct, or are they interchangeable? Thank you. ...

S/l "Yeoman's 7th Cranial Nerve Palsy."
Oct 21, 2009
I have a doc who sounds like he is saying "YEOMAN'S 7th cranial nerve palsy." He has used it before. I cannot figure it out or find it (all I come up with is Bell's, and that is not what he is saying) and it has never been corrected on feedback, so apparently the editors don't know it, either. He has a strong middle eastern accent so this may be throwing me off. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you. ...
