"Radiologic Features"

Line 58:1 · "Radiologic Features" is not a recognised heading for this article type.

Commas

suggestion

"Oculomotor nerve palsies, or third nerve palsies, result in weakness of the muscles supplied by the oculomotor nerve, namely the superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, and levator palpebrae superioris muscles."

Line 1:45 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Semicolons

suggestion

"If the pupil is normal-sized and reactive to light, it is called a pupil-sparing third nerve palsy; conversely if the pupil is enlarged and non-reactive, it is called a non-pupil sparing third nerve palsy."

Line 3:109 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"dorsal midbrain (nuclear lesions): usually due to small regions of infarction; often no other neurological symptoms"

Line 25:92 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Inline EG

suggestion

"when the process is more diffuse, such as in cavernous sinus syndrome, other cranial nerves are also involved (e.g. Tolosa-Hunt syndrome)"

Line 47:125 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
