However, the most important aim of the introduction is driving your readers' attention to the purpose of your report. They should have a clear vision of your objectives

Betty, a 29 year-old graphic designer first noticed her symptoms in the summer of 2019 when she was biking along the lake with her husband and noticed she was seeing two stop signs and had difficulty keeping her bike steady. As she finished her route she felt excessively fatigued. These symptoms persisted for a few days, eventually affecting her productivity at work, prompting a visit to her family physician. Upon assessment of MRI findings which showed demyelination plaques in the corpus callosum, the physician classified her event as a “clinically isolated syndrome” of MS.
