: Studies involving patients or volunteers require approval from an ethics committee, as well as fully informed, written consent, which must be documented in the paper. Authors must obtain written and signed consent from the patient (or, if applicable, their guardian or next of kin) before submitting a case report for publication. As part of the submission process, authors must confirm that consent has been obtained. The manuscript should include a statement in a designated consent section at the end, as follows: "Written informed consent for the publication of this case report and accompanying images was obtained from the patient. A copy of the consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal upon request." Patients have a right to privacy. Their names, initials, or hospital numbers should not be included. Images of patients or volunteers should only be used if they are scientifically necessary and explicit permission has been granted. If consent is subject to specific conditions, the Editor-in-Chief must be informed of these conditions. Even when consent is provided, identifying details should be excluded unless essential. If modifications are made to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors must ensure that these changes do not alter the scientific integrity of the work, and editors should acknowledge this assurance.
