What does ANTRA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
Natural cavities or hollow spaces found within bone or another anatomical structure, plural of antrum.
Antra most often means the maxillary antra, the paired air-filled spaces inside the cheekbones that form part of the sinus system, though the term can describe any bony cavity of similar shape elsewhere in the body. Doctors and radiologists reach for antra when a scan or note involves more than one such cavity at once. The singular antrum is more familiar in general reading than the plural antra.
How ANTRA is used
Medical and anatomical, used in clinical notes and radiology reports rather than in everyday speech.
- The scan showed fluid in both antra.
- Infection had spread to the antra behind the cheekbones.
- The surgeon examined the antra during the sinus procedure.
- Both antra appeared clear on the follow-up x-ray.
