Medical - Medical: Cardiology / CT scan report
Italian term or phrase: devizione capo dx
I don' t know if this is a typo since I cannot find it on the Internet. "Soporoso devizione capo dx, emisindrome mot sin siartria. Lesione ischemica/erorragica?" (The typo in "erorragica" is not mine but is in the text, I assume it means "emorragica". Many thanks for your suggestions.

Clarification request(s) and response
Monia Di Martino: 4:27pm May 12, 2008: It should be a typo for "deviazione".
Mirra_: 9:21pm May 12, 2008: May I ask why you classified this KudoZ as 'Cardiology' ? :)
Mirra_: 9:42pm May 12, 2008: ...sorry, yes, "erorragica" is a typo and means "emorragica".
Heather Phillips: 9:56am May 13, 2008: Classification of query - I classified this as "Cardiology" because I have 3 other medical reports for this patient, all relating to heart disease and ECG/MRI/ultrasound results. I assumed that this was another report along the same lines since it is a CT scan. It appears that it is not and that the poor chap had a stroke as well as all his heart problems. Thanks.
Mirra_: 12:54pm May 13, 2008: Yes, indeed, poor patient... Thank you.

I think it would be more correct to say "rightward".

neutral Mirra_: Sorry, but I really don't understand: why you mention the hand? Also, a report like the one you propose does not exist in the Web... So, why? :) R:a scan report is a technical exam.I guess that if a hand was concerned it would be written 'mano destra'...
16 mins
  -> Beacuse right has more than one meaning. It could be confusing. Of course "hand" can be avoided. It's not in the sense of "mano" but "di destra" as an attributive, there's a hyphen between the two words.

agree liz askew: deviation of the head to the right side..
41 mins
  -> Yes, being an English native you confirmed the confusion I meant about "right".

agree Monia Di Martino: Of course : ) The whole sentence is very bad written. I can only guess there must be a coma between "soporoso" and "deviazione". It should be "in a soporific state".
8 mins
  -> By the way, how would "soporoso" fit in here? As this may clinch it one way or the other. Thank you!

neutral Mirra_: sorry.... :) how much weirdly shaped can be a head deviated to the right? ;-) R: It's my opinion that, especially for what concerns "science", facts & evidences count more than 'nativity'...

OookkK I guess I eventually found the "right way" ;D

it's this

*head deviation to the right (side)*


and it's better referenced than any other solution (34 occurences)

another example...
(I continue to think about it because I would like to be 100%certain of my proposal. Moreover, in the field of technical/medical terminology usually there is only one true way of naming symptoms and so it becames very important to find it for sure)

"What is the consequence of the neglect patients' marked spontaneous eye and head deviation to the right side?
We know that patients with spatial neglect carry out exploratory movements predominantly on the ipsilesional side when searching for targets, reading, copying, etc. [22-25]. It seems as if the spontaneous deviation of the eyes and the head provokes this asymmetric behaviour. Neglect patients appear to carry out visual and tactile movements around the deviated centre of eye and head position, leading to neglect of information on the contralesional, left side."
