Strong List Colon Position

error

"T1 C+ (Gd): enhancement, if present, only occurs at the periphery"

Line 65:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1 C+ (Gd): enhancement'

"DWI: variable"

Line 66:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'DWI: variable'

Strong

warning

"The content of the mucocele is variable, and this impacts on the imaging appearances (see below). Most simple mucoceles are formed by clear thick mucus. If the mucocele has been infected (pyocele) then the content is similar to pus."

Line 29:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'The content of the mucocele is variable, and this impacts on the imaging appearances (see below). Most simple mucoceles are formed by clear thick mucus. If the mucocele has been infected (pyocele) then the content is similar to pus'

Litotes

warning

"Skull radiographs do not have a significant role to play in the diagnosis of mucoceles. If obtained, they demonstrate opacification and expansion of the affected sinus."

Line 44:25 · Consider using 'lack(s)' instead of 'not have'

Emphasis

warning

"Aspergillus spp. infection ^6,7"

Line 100:11 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: 'Aspergillus'

List Caps

"Aspergillus spp. infection ^6,7"

Line 100:15 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"MRI signal intensity is highly variable and depends on the proportions of water, mucus and protein ^1-3:"

Line 49:78 · Use the Oxford comma in 'water, mucus and protein'.

"In general, drainage and marsupialisation of an affected sinus are sufficient. If large bony defects are present, reconstructive surgery may be necessary (e.g. of the orbital floor). If drainage remains impaired, the mucocele may recur."

Line 70:7 · Use the Oxford comma in 'general, drainage and marsupialisation'.

There Is

suggestion

"There is often little differential, if any, provided that contrast material has been administered. The differential includes:"

Line 72:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
