Presentation Transcript

  1. History • List only the critical history • Usebullet format • Spell out all ophthalmologic terms (no abbreviationsexcept for OD, OS, OU)

  2. Exam • Mention only relevant data • Listall normal exam components in one sentence. For example: “Ocular motility, adnexa, pupillary reflexes, intraocular pressures, and anterior segments all within normal limits.” • Again, no abbreviations except OD, OS, OU

  3. Photos – page 1 of 2 • You may use as many relevant photos as you want • You may have two on a page if you want • If you cannot place the images easily, please include instructions for the Kellogg webmaster • Use jpg or gif format • Provide a short legend • Add arrows and other symbols as needed • You may also outline an object to highlight a feature • Remember, no abbreviations except OD, OS, and OU

  4. Photos – page 2 of 2 • Make sure photos are high quality and show what you want them to show • Adjust contrast/brightness before submitting case • Put any additional test results in this section • For OCT scans, please provide the one image that best presents the findings • ERG results should be placed in table format with normal values given for reference • If ERG tracing is the crux of your case, then provide it along with legend that describes the abnormality (e.g., “cornea negative waveform in a patient with a central retinal artery occlusion”)

  5. Diagnosis • Put the diagnosis first • List the Differential Diagnosis next (also in bullet format). Give a short description as to why the diagnosis was excluded. For example: • Diagnosis: XYZ Syndrome – QRS Variant • Differential Diagnosis: • ABC Syndrome: patient would have shown DEF findings • Etc….

  6. Teaching Points • Use bullets to list the most pertinent point(s) you want the reader to get from the case • Also answer “why should we care about this case?”For example, • “because patients with unrecognized temporal arteritis can die!” • “because XYZ finding is an early warning sign of ABC disease, which responds well to early treatment” • Provide the key reference(s) for this case (maximum 3)
