Italian term

Abbreviations: Dx, Sx, ŌŜ, ŌŜ, TŌŜ, ŌŜT

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Ophthalmology
Hi,

I apologize if my request includes too many abbreviations. Not sure if I should have made separate requests for each one of them.

My guess for the meanings is (I may be wrong though):
Dx: Right
Sx: Left
ŌŜ: Left eye (the abbreviation has ^ symbol over OS together but I don't know how to type this in.
TŌŜ and ŌŜT: no clue

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

*Fondus* è il Fondo dell'occhio... in questo caso con emorragia della retina sull'occhio sinistro, dovuto al colpo di corda.

Thanks Wendell. I'll wait to hear from others.
WendellR Feb 28, 2007:
Well, at least for Dx and Sx here, you can be sure that it's right and left, respectively. For the rest, we'll have to wait to see what others more expert than I have to say!

Context Cecita post traumatica occhio sx, grave riduzione del visus occhio dx.

Mentre si dedicava per diletto ... (illegible) veniva colpito in ŌŜ da una corda.

FUNDUS ŌŜ: hemorragie retinale in sede.....
WendellR Feb 28, 2007:
It's usually better to make these separate questions in order to facilitate glossary entries. I pass for OS, TOS, and OST, but Dx is usually "diagnosis" and "Sx" is usually symptoms. A little more context would help to determine if we're talking about right/left here (which is possible).

I think it's this way:
Dx = destro
Sx = sinistro
OS = occhio sinistro
TOS = Trauma Occhio Sinistro
OST = ??? It could be Occhio Sinistro Trauma

I'm not sure, but hope it'd be useful.

Ophtalmologists says that OO (with the - on both letters) = both eyes
Note from asker:
Thanks Valeria. This was helpful.
Peer comment(s):
agree WendellR : There are lots of hits for "fundus OS" in google, with an indication that OS = oculus sinister: the left eye. I think you're on the right track here.

Thanks - I'm sure on Dx/Sx and OS being an optometrist... what I'm not sure about is the last one
