Adjectival Hyphens
error

"after first unprovoked seizure post-acutely in order to identify potential epileptogenic lesions and establish a syndromic diagnosis"

Line 24:39 · 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-acutely'.
EG List And
warning

"non-contrast head CT is indicated immediately in order to exclude acute, life-threatening intracranial pathology (e.g. acute haemorrhage, large mass effect, or severe trauma), particularly in patients presenting with focal seizure onset or neurological deficits"

Line 16:122 · An e.g. list gives selected examples, so it should not end with 'and' or 'or': 'e.g. acute haemorrhage, large mass effect, or'.
Acronyms
warning

"when atypical features in generalised epilepsy are present, such as neurodevelopmental delay, cognitive decline, treatment resistance, or focal interictal epileptiform activity on EEG"

Line 26:195 · 'EEG' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Semicolons
suggestion

"in newly diagnosed focal epilepsy for early risk stratification, because demonstrating a structural lesion strongly predicts pharmacoresistance and facilitates timely referral for presurgical evaluation; for example, early identification of hippocampal sclerosis confers a threefold increase in the risk of developing pharmacoresistance over time 2"

Line 25:217 · Use semicolons judiciously.
