Lint: endophthalmitis

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Features of panopthalmitis includes: oedema or exudates within the tissues surrounding the sclera, especially in the sub-Tenon's space, extraocular inflammation such as lacrimal gland enhancement and enlargement and subconjunctival abscess. Pre and post-septal stranding indicates orbital cellulitis 5,6."

Line 16:253 · 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-septal'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Intraocular echogenic debris, membranes and increased echogenicity of the vitreous humour may be seen, along with chorioretinal thickening. Retinal or choroidal detachments may be present."

Line 18:26 · Use the Oxford comma in 'debris, membranes and increased'.
