About
Case reports are a cornerstone of medical literature, serving as a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. They provide valuable contributions to our understanding of diseases, offering unique insights into clinical features, disease progression, and treatment responses that may not be captured in larger studies. Case reports often elucidate rare conditions, novel interventions, or unique manifestations of common diseases, thereby expanding our collective medical knowledge and influencing clinical practice. Moreover, they serve as an excellent entry point into academic writing for emerging researchers and clinicians. However, due to their inherent limitations in generalizability and the lack of control groups, they are considered low on the hierarchy of evidence. Nonetheless, the rich detail and real-world context provided by case reports make them an essential part of medical literature.
