    This document outlines a 13-item checklist for writing case reports. It includes key elements such as providing a title that indicates it is a case report and highlights the main point of interest. The abstract should introduce what makes the case unique and its contributions, summarize the main symptoms, diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes, and state the main lessons learned. The body of the report should provide demographic and medical history, clinical findings, diagnostic process and reasoning, treatment details, follow-up outcomes, discussion of strengths/limitations and relevant literature, and conclusions. Informed consent from the patient should also be addressed.
