PLEASE DELETE THESE PAGES BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR ARTICLE

Complete the template below.


Before starting each section delete the tip that is in the box

TITLE OF CASE

TIP: Do not include “a case report” in the title. Keep the title clinical and straightforward – this way
people are more likely to find your article.
DESCRIPTION

TIP: Use a maximum of 500 words to summarise the importance of the images(s).

LEARNING POINTS/TAKE HOME MESSAGES (2-3 bullet points)

THIS IS A REQUIRED FIELD


TIP: These are the most crucial part of the case – what do you want readers to remember when seeing
their own patients?

REFERENCES

TIP: Include only relevant references in Vancouver style.

FIGURE/VIDEO CAPTIONS

TIP: We have a limit of 2 illustrations, but choose only what illustrates your case most effectively and
ensure that the patient cannot not be recognised by cropping the image as close as possible.

We encourage colour images and video files.

PATIENT’S PERSPECTIVE

TIP: This is an important section and gives the patient/close family the opportunity to comment on their
experience. This enhances the case report and is strongly encouraged.
