French term

examen pas

Non-PRO French to English Medical Medical (general) medical report of child
This is on a medical report from Haiti for a child: "Organes genitaux: 2 testicules palpables. Rectum: examen PAS."

Does this mean no exam was performed, or that the exam showed nothing abnormal?...

So no abnormality is the meaning or as mentioned by David "examination: normal".
Peer comment(s):

agree David Goward : Agree that it is "RAS" (rien à signaler), but would translate this as "nothing to report" or simply "OK". I don't think we'd refer to either a rectum or an examination being "unremarkable"!!

Peer comment(s):

disagree Angela Dickson (X) : highly doubtful - no reason to suspect such a technique would be used on a rectum.

No abnormality detected would be the commonly used equivalent of RAS.
