Clinical Cases
The clinical case submission for the S&B Conference has closed.
Why submit a clinical case?
The aim of the Sleep and Breathing conference is to support the exchange of knowledge among the international scientific community. Clinical cases are detailed reports of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. They may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence.
Accepted cases will be presented by the presenting author in Clinical update sessions.
