Adjectival Hyphens

error

"On each side, a flap attaches to the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae and divides the peri-vertebral spaces into a pre-vertebral compartment anteriorly and a para-spinal compartment posteriorly ³."

Line 32:133 · 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-vertebral'.

Prefix Hyphens

warning

Line 32:104 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'peri-vertebral'.

"Anteromedial to the scalene muscles, the deep layer splits into two leaves; the ventral leaf being the alar fascia, and the dorsal leaf being the prevertebral fascia (with the prevertebral space being between the prevertebral fascia and the spine). The space between the alar fascia and the prevertebral fascia is the danger space. The space between the alar fascia and the posterior aspect of the middle layer of the deep cervical fascia is the retropharyngeal space."

Line 33:78 · Use semicolons judiciously.
