ABSTR ACTPurpose This paper explains the purpose and structure of a radiological case report and provides guidance for radiologists with respect to the writing of a well-structured patient case report. Materials and MethodsThe current literature and the author's experience as a writer were used to create a manual that describes steps for preparing a radiological case report containing all of the important ingredients for effective communication.Results Case reports are the first line of evidence in documenting clinical observations in the literature. A case report should be written succinctly and consists of four structured main sections: introduction, description of the case, discussion and conclusion. Its structure follows the structure of an original research article, whereby the description of the case of the case report corresponds to the materials and methods section of the research article. The introduction provides the subject and merit of the case report with respect to the published literature.The case description presents the case in detail and chronological order to allow for plausibility. The discussion compares the case with the published literature and summarizes the essential features. A case report, like an original article, must provide a justified conclusion. The conclusion should be brief and be applicable to clinical practice.Conclusion The unique quality of the case, proper preparation and a clear conclusion are essential for a case report to be published. Schlussfolgerungen Die Einzigartigkeit des Falles, eine sorgfältige und strukturierte Präsentation, sowie eine klare Schlussfolgerung sind entscheidend für die erfolgreiche Publikation.

Resumo: Os relatos de casos constituem uma velha tradição na literatura médica e, até o advento de formas mais sofisticadas de estudos, reinaram absolutos como forma de publicação. Apesar de suas qualidades inquestionáveis, os relatos de casos perderam parte de sua importância e prestígio. Alguns periódicos médicos de destaque aceitam relatos de casos apenas sob forma de cartas ao editor ou na versão eletrônica, enquanto outros simplesmente não os aceitam de forma alguma. Esse artigo revisa criticamente os aspectos positivos e negativos dos relatos de casos e sua importância na educação médica. Mesmo em um mundo médico onde a evidência tornou-se obrigatória, relatos de casos ainda desempenham um papel relevante. INTRODUÇÃOA publicação dos relatos de casos (RC) confunde-se com os primórdios da literatura médica. As primeiras revistas médicas continham fundamental, quando não exclusivamente, essa forma de artigo científico. Até o advento de modalidades mais refinadas de pesquisa, os RC reinaram, soberanos, como forma de aprendizado e difusão do conhecimento.Uma consulta ao PubMed (www.pubmed.gov) em novembro de 2008, empregando-se case report como termo de busca, revela a existência de mais de 1.400.000 (um milhão e quatrocentos mil) itens nessa base de dados. Na medicina em geral e em particular na dermatologia, especialidade que emprega exaustivamente em seu ensino os recursos visuais e na qual o diagnóstico se fundamenta largamente no reconhecimento de padrões morfológicos, os RC podem ter inestimável valor educacional. 1 Apesar dessa popularidade e do inegável valor didático, os RC padecem de certo preconceito junto a renomados periódicos. Alguns os aceitam apenas sob a forma de carta ao editor, outros somente na versão eletrônica, e há aqueles que simplesmente ignoram

“…However, the completeness of published reports has been shown to vary considerably. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Their value is limited, and they can even be misleading, when they lack relevant information about the patient, the event, all potentially relevant exposures, the clinical decision making processes, and most importantly, the possible alternative etiologies. Even when they contain all the essential information, it is often not possible to arrive at a definitive diagnosis for the event.…”

Guidelines for submitting adverse event reports for publication

Publication of case reports describing suspected adverse effects of drugs and medical products that include herbal and complementary medicines, vaccines, and other biologicals and devices is important for postmarketing surveillance. Publication lends credence to important signals raised in these adverse event reports. Unfortunately, deficiencies in vital information in published cases can often limit the value of such reports by failing to provide sufficient details for either (i) a differential diagnosis or provisional assessment of cause‐effect association, or (ii) a reasonable pharmacological or biological explanation. Properly described, a published report of one or more adverse events can provide a useful signal of possible risks associated with the use of a drug or medical product which might warrant further exploration. A review conducted by the Task Force authors found that many major journals have minimal requirements for publishing adverse event reports, and some have none at all. Based on a literature review and our collective experience in reviewing adverse event case reports in regulatory, academic, and industry settings, we have identified information that we propose should always be considered for inclusion in a report submitted for publication. These guidelines have been endorsed by the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE) and the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP) and are freely available on the societies' web sites. Their widespread distribution is encouraged. ISPE and ISoP urge biomedical journals to adopt these guidelines and apply them to case reports submitted for publication. They also encourage schools of medicine, pharmacy, and nursing to incorporate them into the relevant curricula that address the detection, evaluation, and reporting of suspected drug or other medical product adverse events.
