She submitted medical records, and Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) Report arguing she was not entitled to compensation. Respondent noted that her injury was not a Table injury and that she had failed to present a reliable scientific theory supporting causation-in-fact. Following a status conference, Petitioner was directed to file an expert report. However, unable to secure expert support, Petitioner filed a motion to dismiss her own claim. The Special Master found that Petitioner had not suffered a Table injury and that the record lacked sufficient evidence, including a medical expert's opinion, to establish that her alleged injury was caused by the vaccination. Consequently, the Special Master dismissed the case.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
