Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Karla, You picked a really fun one. That is dysdiadochokinesia. I have it in a word expander, as that is the only way I can spell it. Margaret >>> " Karla Hilbourn " 05/21/03 05:05PM >>> This gentleman has new onset stroke disease. In the physical exam, under " neurologic " , doc dictates: NEUROLOGIC: Completely normal gait. He can walk around in a circle and do 360s and continue to walk. No s/l " dystiatic cocanesia " . Romberg, pronator drift are completely negative. Balance is perfect. I have not a clue what this is, and I've tried spelling it different ways to see if the spellchecker can help me out. I've also looked under all sorts of spellings in my Stedman's Neurology book. Any help would be more than appreciated!!!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Margaret: Thanks so much for your help. I'm glad you thought it was a fun one. For me it was frustrating until I saw your spelling and could look it up. Thanks again! :-) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Karla Hilbourn, 47/VA I.C., Family Practice, 2½ years www.karlascozycorner.homestead.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* > >Reply-To: NMTC >To: <NMTC > >Subject: Re: Neurology word help >Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 17:34:51 -0400 > >Karla, You picked a really fun one.

A good tool for brainstorming words which are only partially heard is the Great Word List Project at MT Daily (one of the areas that is still free to access): http://66.119.39.38/cgi/wl It allows a wildcard search (but does require the first letter to be correct/input to perform a search). In this case, if you put in d*nesia it offers the following list of possibilities, with one-click access to Google for a lookup under each word: diadochocinesia diadochokinesia disdiadochokinesia dothienesia dysdiadochocinesia dysdiadochokinesia dysgenesia dyskinesia dysmnesia It can be a very helpful tool at times. -- Chuck Mattsen http://www.mindspring.com/~mattsen/mtsearch.htm Random Thought/Quote For This Message: Talk is cheap, because supply exceeds demand.
