Case reports support the advancement of medical knowledge through the introduction of ideas and perspectives.

They aim to improve global health and increase clinical understanding by conveying best practice or by sharing key learnings from unique occurrences.

  • The author(s) must be involved in the direct care of the patient.
  • The author(s) must obtain written consent from the patient where practical.
