Medical Misspellings
error

"Spelling it "azygous" when referring to the vein is incorrect, regardless of whether British or American English 4. Azygous is a word in English meaning 'without pair', but in the context of anatomy, see Terminologia Anatomica, azygos vein is the sole correct spelling."

Line 3:17 · This is a misspelling: use 'azygos' rather than 'azygous'.

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"The post-hepatic segment of the IVC (derived from the right vitelline vein) is present but drains only the hepatic veins into the right atrium."

Line 12:8 · 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-hepatic'.

There Is
suggestion

"There is an interruption of the infrahepatic/suprarenal portion of the IVC due to a failure of fusion of the vitelline and subcardinal embryological portions of the IVC. The renal segment of the IVC therefore drains via the azygos vein (or in rare cases, the hemiazygos vein if there is a left-sided IVC)."
