"Associations"

Line 10:1 · "Associations" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Pathology").

There Is

suggestion

"Derangement of the normal laminar cellular organisation of the cerebellum is present. There is thickening of the outer molecular cell layer, loss of the middle Purkinje cell layer, and infiltration of the inner granular cell layer with dysplastic ganglion cells of various sizes ⁶."

Line 31:90 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The dysplastic mass grows very slowly, and initial treatment revolves around treating hydrocephalus. Surgical resection is often curative, with only a few case reports of recurrence ³. Importantly it is crucial to remember the association with Cowden syndrome, hence, increased risk of other neoplasms such as breast, endometrial and thyroid cancers. Therefore, a recommendation for further imaging or clinical assessment of possible tumours in these locations should be included in the radiologist's report."

Line 77:325 · Use the Oxford comma in 'breast, endometrial and thyroid'.
