Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 and I had a new term in the MedQuist dictation I was doing. OCPA = olivopontocerebellar atrophy. <g> Don't ask me what it means but the patient thought she had that instead of what she really had but what she really has is primary lateral sclerosis, a motor neuron disease.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Good idea! However, I hope that each member of our group doesn't post a word a day. That would be 799 words a day!!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Karl, Actually she mentioned olivopontocerebellar atrophy rather than just olivopontocerebellar. Here's the definition for olivopontocerebellar atrophy per SEMD. Margaret a group of genetically distinct, mostly autosomal dominant progressive neurologic diseases characterized by loss of neurons in the cerebellar cortex, basis pontis, and inferior olivary nuclei; results in ataxia, tremor, involuntary movement, and dysarthria; five clinical types (four with dominant, one with recessive inheritance) have been described, each type characterized by additional findings, such as sensory loss, retinal degeneration, ophthalmoplegia, and extrapyramidal signs. Several loci are involved, autosomal dominant [MIM*164400 to *164600] and recessive [MIM*258300]. See Also: spinocerebellar ataxia. Syn: olivopontocerebellar degeneration. >>> karlec50@... 06/17/03 04:14PM >>> This mean s pertaining to the cortex of the cerebellum or pertaining to the olivae. This is per Dorlands.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Looks like something got transposed and OCPA really s/b OPCA, and it's in the new Stedman's Abbreviations. Like Ragu, " it's in there! " <g> Shirley Re: word a day Woooo! Stedman's Abbreviations doesn't even show that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 hehehe you're right, I did transpose it. It's OPCA - but I don't have Stedman's Abbreviations - lol. anyway, I googled it and found it, but I wasn't familiar with olivopontocerebellar atrophy off the top of my head. Once I found it, I didn't read about it this time. ) Carol Re: word a day Woooo! Stedman's Abbreviations doesn't even show that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Carol, Good morning! OPCA, expanded, is a mouthful alright. I'll just be lucky to recognize the term if I ever hear it! Well, time to go pick up my new Stedman's Neurology Words that just came in at the local and Noble. I'm simply reference poor! <g> Wonder how I'm gonna pay the rent? Shirley Re: word a day Woooo!
