zizy sternum? - Mel268

Posted: Nov 10, 2010

Patient with dysphagia. Dr states: "...there is no stricture in a location to explain his sense that solids get stuck about an inch about the 'zizzy' sternum". Pulled out anatomy books and not finding this anywhere. Help! :)

Bookmark the onelook.com website. It comes in very, very handy -- especially in the middle of the night when you're stuck on a word and everyone on this forum has gone to bed. ;-)

Thanks so much! - Mel268

Already done Bowbird. Thanks again! What a fabulous site. I always feel like I've won a battle if I can get an answer and don't have to go to QA with blanks. :)

Have a great night and thanks again for your help guys!
