calvarium spelled out by doc but I cant verify - jh
Posted: Mar 26, 2012
Here is the sentence
CT scan of the head demonstrated a minimally depressed communicated fracture of the left occipital "calvarium."
Spell check shows calvarium wrong. Stedmans neuro book doesnt have it..Google shows calvaria, which stedmans shows.. Which is correct please
Correctomundo - sm
[ In Reply To ..]As a rule of thumb, if my docs spell something out, I type it verbatim, but this is correct.
calvarium - top part of skull - upper domed portion of the skull.
Have a good day!
Thank you,,,just in time, was sending as spelled :-) - jh

stedmans dictionary; calvarium incorrectly used for calvaria. - tired
[ In Reply To ..]but doctor spelling comes first
So has calvarium been (incorrectly) used so much that it's now officially accepted as a real wo - jld
[ In Reply To ..]I mean, if not, then I don't care how the doctor spells it, if it's wrong, you correct it. I just personally don't know about this word?
From what I've looked up, calvaria is singular and calvariae is plural; calvarium is just incorrect. ??? Anyone else's opinion?
...and by the way, I've been using calvarium until I saw this post--not claiming to know--nm - jld

the fracture is comminuted - not communicated
