A Case Report is a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a patient. Case Reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient but usually describes an unusual or novel occurrence.

Step 1: Identify the Category of Your Case Report

• An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms
• An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient
• Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
• Unique or rare features of a disease
• Unique therapeutic approaches
• A positional or quantitative variation of the anatomical structures

Step 2: Select an Appropriate Journal

Journal selection should be based on the type of your Case Report.

Example, unusual injury presentations are more likely to be accepted in journals such as Trauma, rather than more mainstream, general-interest journals such as British Medical Journal; this does not publish Case Reports but only Lesson of the Week.

Another important point with respect to journal selection is that it is extremely important to follow the basic format required by the journal. Your Case Report may be rejected because it does not conform to the standard format, no matter how good the content is. Therefore, formatting such as margins, spacing, figure numbering, and style of references (Vancouver, Harvard, etc.), all are important aspects.
