ABSTRACT

The case report is a type of primary source publication, which allows learning to identify the behavior of a pathology that has a specific characteristic; although it has a low level of evidence, this can favor the understanding of the practice guidelines clinical, how clinical reasoning and the handling of uncertainty occur. The objective is to contribute with new aspects of a given disease, where the novelty, originality, and interest of the case presented are taken into account. This is a description not previously reported, infrequent or rare; it can be considered an unusual evolution of the symptomatology of the disease. Its structure should depend on the presentation of the symptoms of the case, a detailed description of tests and examinations, diagnosis, description of the prescribed treatment, and the results obtained, accompanied by a discussion and conclusion of the case and supported by the review of the previously cited literature.
