Ostiomeatal complex is correct because this refers to an opening in the sinus (ostium) and not the bone, which the other spelling would indicate.
Osteomeatal complexes are assigned a score from 0-2. 0 meaning patent and 2 meaning obstructed. So if your osteomeatal complexes are bilaterally patent it means that neither side has any obstruction.

"Left ostiomeatal occlusion" refers to a blockage in the ostiomeatal complex on the left side of the nasal cavity, which is a critical area where the maxillary, frontal, and anterior ethmoid sinuses drain into the nasal passage. This obstruction can lead to sinusitis or other sinus-related issues, as it prevents proper drainage and ventilation of the sinuses. Symptoms may include facial pain, nasal congestion, and difficulty breathing through the affected side. Diagnosis is often made using imaging studies like a CT scan of the sinuses.
OSTEOMEATAL COMPLEX(OMC) OMC is a functional entity that included middlr turbinate,uncinate process,ethmoid bulla, semilunar hiatus and etnmoid infundibulum. OMC is final common pathway for drainage and ventilation of frontal,maxillary sinuses and ant.ethmoidal cells. OMC is related with pathogensis of nasal sinusitis and it is basis of functional nasal endoscopic suegery.
Bilateral ostiomeatal units refer to the paired anatomical structures in the nasal cavity that allow drainage of the sinuses, specifically the maxillary, frontal, and anterior ethmoid sinuses. When these units are described as "patent," it means that they are open and unobstructed, facilitating normal airflow and drainage. Frontal recesses, which are the spaces leading to the frontal sinuses, being patent indicates that there is no blockage, ensuring proper sinus function and reducing the risk of infections. Overall, patent ostiomeatal units and frontal recesses are crucial for maintaining sinus health.

No, "more prouder" is not correct grammar. "More proud" is the correct form to compare levels of pride.

An obliterated ostiomeatal complex refers to the blockage or narrowing of the anatomical area in the nasal cavity where the ostium of the maxillary sinus and the drainage pathways of the frontal and anterior ethmoid sinuses converge. This condition can lead to impaired sinus drainage, resulting in chronic sinusitis or related sinus issues. It is often diagnosed through imaging studies like CT scans, which can reveal the extent of the blockage and its impact on sinus health. Treatment options may include medical management or surgical intervention to restore normal drainage.
'when more than one are' is the correct phrase.
