"Genetics"

Line 8:1 · "Genetics" should be H2, not H1.
There Is
suggestion

"Arachnoid cysts are thought to arise due to congenital splitting of the arachnoid layer with accumulation of CSF within this potential space (thus technically they are intra-arachnoid cysts). The cyst wall is composed of flattened arachnoid cells forming a thin translucent membrane. There is no solid component and no epithelial lining."

Line 12:288 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
Inline EG
suggestion

"enlarged CSF space (e.g. mega cisterna magna)"

Line 43:27 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
