avulsion A sudden and perceptible loss or addition to property as a result of the action of water either taking soil from one property and leaving it on another,or by virtue of a river or other running water changing the course of its bed.The rule is that boundary lines described with reference to the midpoint of the stream will remain at the midpoint of the old stream, and not the midpoint of the new stream. This is because of the sudden nature of the change, so that people may reasonably notice and mark the location of the old stream bed as a matter of reference. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Avulsing a polyp is usually not recommended, because when it is removed, the otolaryngologist might find that the stapes is attached to the end of the polyp. Excising polyps is probably a better technique than simply avulsing them, because polyps can be firmly attached to the ossicles or chorda tympani. |
