Lint: asymmetric-cavernous-sinus-enhancement

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) can be used to definitively exclude dural arteriovenous fistula when asymmetric cavernous sinus enhancement is encountered on cross-sectional imaging but should be reserved for cases where symptoms are present or pre-test likelihood of pathology is high. In these cases, DSA will be normal 1."

Line 14:262 · 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-test'.
Inline EG
suggestion

"cavernous sinus mass (e.g. cavernous sinus schwannoma)"

Line 22:36 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
