Declarations

:

: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is not applicable. This is a case report and does not meet the definition of research and does not fall under the purview of our Institutional Review Board (IRB) and its written policies.

: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. The patient signed our Institutional Consent of Care. Our Consent of Care states the following: “I recognize that research will not be conducted on me unless I voluntarily give my informed consent, or as otherwise permitted by laws governing research. I consent, however, for my Health Information to be used consistent with federal law in reviews preparatory to research, in research studies if I should be deceased, or in research where the Institutional Review Board and Privacy Board have approved the use of my Health Information for research.”

: For this type of study, consent for publication is not required. Our institutional offices for Scientific Publishing and Corporate Compliance were contacted and informed. As per our institution policies (policy no. 102.3) that references the published “John Hopkins Medicine Organization Policy on Single Case Reports and Case Series,” authors who remove HIPAA identifiers (including unique patient characteristics) from the data prior to submission and publication of the article do not need to obtain a signed privacy authorization. This case report does not contain any HIPAA identifiable data. The patient is deceased. An additional specific case report consent form is not recommended or needed in this situation.
