Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 Hi, I need some word help. Brain CT. No context for the first one, I'm afraid: Prominent s/l *massa intermedia*.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 and Jan, I believe the second one actually is a syrinx, which I hear a lot when doing surgeries on the spine. The salpinx is also a tube but, according to Dorland's, specifically the auditory tube or the uterine tube. Hope this helps.
