Lint: spinal-synovial-cyst-1

Strong List Colon Position
error

"T1: variable"

Line 31:4 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1: </strong>variable'

"T2: variable"

Line 38:4 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T2: </strong>variable'
Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Generally, laminectomy with resection of the cysts is the mainstay approach when symptomatic, as conservative management has high failure rates 10-12. Post-resection cyst recurrence is rare (~1%) 11."

Line 48:166 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-resection'.
Ranges
warning

"The prevalence of spinal synovial cysts has been reported to range from 1-10% depending on the population and method (i.e., operative vs imaging) 10,11."

Line 7:71 · Don't add words such as 'from' or 'between' to describe a range of numbers.

Semicolons
suggestion

"Spinal synovial cysts may be asymptomatic and found incidentally; one large series reported that ~50% were considered incidental and ~50% were associated with ipsilateral radiculopathy 9. Larger and more anteriorly positioned cysts that extend into the spinal canal can result in low back pain, symptomatic spinal canal stenosis (including cauda equina syndrome), and radiculopathy 9,10."

Line 11:68 · Use semicolons judiciously.
