Semicolons

suggestion

"Although the terms encephalocele and meningoencephalocele are often used interchangeably, strictly speaking there is a distinction; meningoencephalocele specifically indicates that both brain tissue (encephalo-) and meninges (meningo-) are involved in the protrusion, whereas encephalocele merely indicates the presence of brain tissue in the protrusion without specifying the involvement of meninges, and thus can include brain tissue alone or brain tissue with meninges."

Line 3:134 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Inline EG

suggestion

"Furthermore, encephaloceles should be distinguished from extracranial brain herniation in which brain tissue herniates through a dural and skull defect (e.g. post-trauma or surgery)."

Line 5:163 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

There Is

suggestion

"They are thought to occur in one of every 4000 live births. Frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are more common in the south and south-east Asian populations. There is no recognised gender predilection."

Line 7:158 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
