Strong List Colon Position

error

"origin: termination of the internal carotid artery"

Line 5:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'origin: termination'

"course: from the medial end of the lateral fissure stem to the corpus callosum"

Line 6:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'course: from'

"supply: the corpus callosum, the septum pellucidum, the putamen (anterior portion), the head of the caudate nucleus, and parts of the internal capsule"

Line 15:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'supply: the'

Adjectival Hyphens

error

"A1: horizontal or pre-communicating segment"

Line 22:30 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-communicating'.

"A2: vertical, post-communicating or infracallosal segment"

Line 29:26 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-communicating'.

Colons

warning

"infraoptic ACA: A1 travels inferiorly or through the optic nerve ¹³"

Line 127:22 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': A1 travels'.

Commas

suggestion

"The pericallosal artery refers either to the distal part of the ACA starting from A2 (after the origin of the anterior communicating artery) or from A3 (defined after the origin of the callosomarginal artery). In the former case, the A2, A3, and A4-5 segments refer to proximal, middle, and distal segments of the pericallosal artery, respectively ^11,12."

Line 51:239 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

There Is

suggestion

"There are two main branching patterns of the anterior cerebral artery. In the first, the A2 gives off the callosomarginal artery (which lies in the cingulate sulcus) and continues as the pericallosal artery. In this configuration, the terminal (cortical) branches arise from the callosomarginal artery."

Line 54:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Orbital branches, 2 or 3 in number, branch over the orbital surface of the frontal lobe, supplying:"

Line 81:12 · Use the Oxford comma in 'branches, 2 or 3'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"azygos ACA: ACA territories supplied by a single A2 trunk; incidence of ~2% (range 0.2-4%)"

Line 119:72 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"ACA trifurcation: three A2 segments; incidence of ~7.5% (range 2-13%)"

Line 120:43 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"bihemispheric ACA: a hypoplastic A2 segment with contralateral A2 segment dominance supplying both ACA territories; incidence of ~4.5% (range 2-7%)"
