Dear ::first_name,

On behalf of the WMS Executive Board and Secretariat, we wish all our members the warmest seasons greetings.

Thank you for a fantastic year, we are looking forward to supporting you all in 2023.

Featured Cases: We need your help!

Over the past year, we have been working to develop the Featured Cases section of the WMS website. This section aims to display clinical cases demonstrating both classical and unusual presentations of neuromuscular disorders for education purposes.

Cases we publish strive to enhance clinical reasoning in the diagnostic workup of neuromuscular diseases. The cases are prepared in different formats in order to provide deeper insights, both in the vast variety of neuromuscular diseases clinical presentations, and also into the various diagnostic approaches such as pathology, EDXs and MRI.

We would like to call on WMS members to support us by submitting cases to expand and diversify our library.

We will be able to provide guidelines for what we are looking for. We have included an example of a recent Featured Case below. Please get in touch if you have classical or unusual presentations that are worth sharing with our members.

Best wishes

Riyad El-Khoury
Section Editor, Featured Cases.
