Abstract

Case reports are an important area of clinical research, as they are a mode of communication with the rest of the medical world about how a specific patient and their disease course. They are valuable because they can highlight learning points with respect to uncommon presentation of a condition, modes of investigation, and of course management of the condition. Although they are not at the top of the evidence pyramid, they are certainly worth getting involved in for many reasons, as writing up a case can help you develop as a clinician, and signify interest in the subject matter.
