Line 21:77 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

"MRI brain is nearly always abnormal 2,9. There is evidence of a leukoencephalopathy, including T2 and FLAIR white matter hyperintensities in the centrum semiovale which are bilateral, either diffuse or patchy, and spare subcortical U-fibres 2,6,7,9. In longstanding disease, there may be more extensive involvement of structures such as the corpus callosum, basal ganglia, thalamus, and those in the posterior fossa 2. There is typically no enhancement with administration of gadolinium 2,6,7."
