Some papers provide a comprehensive evaluation of therelevant literature.
The clinical cases in the medicine case report is a quickway for busy doctors to communicate when they don't havethe time or resources to undertake large-scale research.

As a result, a case report worth reading should have both practical and valuablemessages.
Although some consider writing a medical case report the lowest level of proof inthe medical literature, they allow for the anecdotal sharing of personalexperiences, which are critical sources of information for optimal patienttreatment.

The medical case study report writing are the mostprevalent causes for publicizing a case: 1) anunanticipated link between illnesses or symptoms; 2)an unexpected occurrence when watching or treating apatient; 3) discoveries that give insight on thepathophysiology of a disease or a negativeconsequence; 4) Characteristics of an illness that aredistinctive or uncommon; 5) Differentiated therapeutictechniques; anatomical structural variation
The majority of journals publish case reports on oneor more of the following topics:

It's usually good to read a few cases reports from thetarget journals to understand the sequence andstructure.

This part should begin by building on what was discussed inthe introduction, concentrating on why the case issignificant and its problem.
After that, there is a synopsis of the extant literature on thesubject.
The existing hypotheses and research findings on thesignificant issue in the patient's condition are described inthis section.
![Page 16: Instructions for Writing a Clinical Case Report – Pubrica](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022090918/61863d5647d7845d6e779941/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Finally, the medical case report writing service should be associated with localliterature, with the message sent by the mentioned case.
