Sample Case Report Work
Below is an excerpt from a medical case report we've helped develop that demonstrates proper structure and clinical documentation.
Unusual Presentation of Guillain-Barré Syndrome Following COVID-19 Vaccination
Case Presentation:
A previously healthy 34-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaints of bilateral facial weakness and progressive ascending weakness in all extremities developing over 72 hours. Symptoms began 10 days after receiving the second dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The patient denied recent illness, travel, or unusual exposures. Neurological examination revealed bilateral facial palsy, areflexia in all extremities, and symmetric ascending weakness (3/5 strength in lower extremities, 4/5 in upper extremities). Sensation to light touch and pinprick was preserved. Initial vital signs were within normal limits. Laboratory studies showed normal complete blood count, metabolic panel, and inflammatory markers. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed albuminocytologic dissociation with protein 87 mg/dL (normal 15-45 mg/dL) and white blood cell count 2 cells/μL (normal 0-5 cells/μL).
Annotation: Detailed case presentation with relevant history, examination findings, and diagnostic results. Note the clear chronology and objective documentation without excessive detail.
Diagnostic Assessment:
Nerve conduction studies performed on day 3 of admission demonstrated prolonged distal motor latencies, conduction block, and absent F waves in multiple nerves, consistent with an acquired demyelinating polyneuropathy. MRI of the brain and spinal cord showed no significant abnormalities. Extensive infectious workup including PCR for Campylobacter jejuni, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 were negative. Anti-ganglioside antibody panel was positive for GD1b IgG antibodies. Based on clinical presentation, CSF findings, and electrophysiologic studies, the patient was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), specifically the facial diplegia with paresthesias variant with atypical ascending progression.
Annotation: Comprehensive diagnostic workup with appropriate specialist investigations. The text establishes the diagnosis while documenting the exclusion of alternative explanations.
Discussion:
This case represents an unusual presentation of GBS following COVID-19 vaccination. While post-vaccination GBS has been reported with various vaccines, including influenza and hepatitis, the incidence following COVID-19 vaccination appears extremely rare. Our literature review identified only 17 previously reported cases following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, with an estimated incidence of 1 per 10 million doses.\n\nThis case is particularly noteworthy for three reasons: First, the patient presented with bilateral facial weakness as an early and prominent feature, consistent with the facial diplegia variant, which represents only 3% of GBS cases. Second, the progression was more rapid than typical for this variant. Third, the presence of GD1b antibodies, which are more commonly associated with sensory ataxic variants of GBS, represents an unusual immunological profile for this clinical presentation.
Annotation: Discussion that places the case in context of existing literature while highlighting its unique features. Note how it contributes to clinical knowledge rather than merely describing the condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Publishable case reports typically feature one or more of the following elements: an unusual or previously unreported clinical condition; an unexpected association between symptoms or signs; an unusual etiology; a novel diagnostic approach; a unique treatment or intervention; or an unexpected outcome. Additionally, the report should provide new insights that advance medical knowledge or challenge existing clinical paradigms. Our experts help evaluate whether your case has these characteristics and how to effectively frame its contribution.
We strictly adhere to confidentiality guidelines, removing all personally identifiable information (including names, dates, locations, and unique identifiers). We follow journal-specific requirements for patient consent documentation, and can help prepare appropriate consent forms when needed. Only clinically relevant information is included, and any potentially identifying images are appropriately cropped or masked.
Yes, we provide guidance on journal selection based on your case's specialty area, significance, and novelty. We analyze journal focus, acceptance rates, impact factors, and recently published similar cases to identify the most appropriate targets. Once a target journal is selected, we format your case report according to that journal's specific style guidelines, reference format, and submission requirements.
Typically, a complete case report takes 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to finished manuscript. The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, the extent of literature review required, and the turnaround time for your reviews of drafts. Rush services are available for conference deadlines or time-sensitive publication opportunities.
