Case report abstracts should be submitted in the following structured format:

• Clinical Case (diagnostic evaluation, treatment [adherence, complications, side effects], and follow-up). The case presentation should be chronological and concise, including demographic information if relevant, symptoms, comorbidities, and significant medical history. Anonymity must be preserved.
• Conclusion: Summarize the new key takeaways from the clinical case in comparison to existing literature.

Depending on the complexity of the case, a photo, table, or figure may be helpful for illustration.
