Adjectival Hyphens

error

"The ascending portion of the helix shares its lymph drainage pathway with the tragus, concha and inferior crus of the antihelix, draining into the pre-auricular lymph node. The superior and descending portions drain to the retroauricular lymph node ³."

Line 14:158 · 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-auricular'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The ascending portion of the helix shares its lymph drainage pathway with the tragus, concha and inferior crus of the antihelix, draining into the pre-auricular lymph node. The superior and descending portions drain to the retroauricular lymph node ³."

Line 14:85 · Use the Oxford comma in 'tragus, concha and inferior'.

"The external ear is developed from six hillocks. The first three auricular hillocks, hillocks 1 to 3, are derived from the first pharyngeal arch and are the embryological origins for the tragus, helix and cymba concha ⁵."

Line 18:198 · Use the Oxford comma in 'tragus, helix and cymba'.
