The guideline presents a structure of the clinical case report. Reports on clinical cases are solely descriptions of practice. They cannot be tested or studied again. Based on such a message, medical doctors can transfer the experience to other medical professionals, use it for improvement and self-education. The message of this type will be motivating practicing physicians to develop their own diagnostic and therapeutic models of professional activity.
