Spinal terminology - Dallas Ink


Posted: Nov 15, 2012

This PA is dictating MRI lab results for spinal consultation.  She is saying what s/l "roove sleeve cis" at T9 to T12 bilaterally.

Could she be meaning "root sleeve cysts" or even "root sheath cysts" ??

Thanks for any help!

I really appreciate you both who took the time to offer suggestions.

I will probably have to wait until tomorrow afternoon before I see what it actually is supposed to be.

Thanks again!
