Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Bifurcated superior sagittal sinus draining directly into each transverse sinus without forming the torcular Herophili. This is a normal anatomical variant 3 that creates a "pseudo-empty delta sign" 4,5 on venography."

Line 13:196 · 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: 'pseudo-empty'.

suggestion

"Caution must be taken to achieve a well-timed acquisition in CT cerebral venography, particularly in cases of intracranial hypertension which can cause delayed filling of the venous sinus. A premature acquisition may create a false impression of thrombosis, which is simply due to contrast not yet reaching the venous sinuses. The cerebral veins should also be opacified on a CT cerebral venogram; if they are not, one should suspect premature acquisition."
