  • Case - A short description of the case, starting with the patient’s history, your investigation, and progress so far (100 – 500 words).
  • Conclusion - A discussion of why the case is interesting, what ideas you have had, and why input from experts in the field would be useful (100 – 200 words).

All images/videos should be of high quality and demonstrate the pertinent findings of the case. They may include images in JPEG or PNG format and/or short, edited videos in MP4 format.
