Adjectival Hyphens
error

"the temporomandibular joint deformity can range from mild hypoplasia of the condyle with normal joint anatomy to a grossly disorganised joint anatomy and pseudo-articulation of the condyle at the cranial base"

Line 21:166 · 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-articulation'.

"The CT dataset may also be used to produce 3D models using advanced printing techniques popular for pre-surgical planning."

Line 28:104 · 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-surgical'.

"Associations"

Line 6:1 · "Associations" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Pathology").
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Hemifacial microsomia is also known as craniofacial microsomia, first and second branchial arch syndrome, otomandibular dysostosis, and lateral facial dysplasia."

Line 3:64 · Use the Oxford comma in 'microsomia, first and second'.

"Parry-Romberg syndrome (facial hemiatrophy): progressive wasting of subcutaneous fat, sometimes accompanied by atrophy of skin, cartilage, bone and muscle"

Line 33:143 · Use the Oxford comma in 'cartilage, bone and muscle'.
Commas
suggestion

"As many as 55% of patients with hemifacial microsomia also have extracranial anomalies, which may include central nervous system (CNS), skeletal, cardiac, lung, gastrointestinal, and kidney defects 3,4."

Line 7:90 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"Treacher Collins syndrome: hypoplasia of facial bones, especially malar and mandibular bones, malformation of the external, middle, and internal ear, macrostomia, and high palatal arch"

Line 32:68 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
There Is
suggestion

"There is no universally accepted classification of hemifacial microsomia (c. 2024) 6. The first classification that grades mandibular deficiency was developed by Pruzansky in 1969 5:"

Line 9:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

"CT is the usual imaging modality of choice to assess the extent of microsomia. There are a number of features:"

Line 16:83 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"ear: hypoplasia, aplasia, or malformation of the external ear and middle ear; there may be a hypoplastic mastoid process with partial or complete lack of pneumatisation of the mastoid air cells"

Line 18:101 · Use semicolons judiciously.
