Optional Plurals

error

"It refers to the characteristic holohemispheric global atrophy of one hemisphere, which is independent of any vascular territory and subsequently follows a causative episode of prolonged clonic seizures during a febrile disease. The prolonged unilateral predominant seizure(s) in the initial episode occur in children usually younger than 4 years of age and are referred to as hemiconvulsion-hemiplegia syndrome (HH)."

Line 2:270 · Do not use plurals in parentheses such as in 'seizure(s)'.

Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Prevention is better than cure and early and aggressive termination of seizures is considered the most effective way to prevent post-convulsive hemiplegia ⁹."

Line 34:132 · 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-convulsive'.
