Case reports frequently describe: cases that aren't explained by known diseases or syndromes; cases that aren't explained by known diseases or syndromes; and cases that aren't explained Cases demonstrating a significant variety of an illness or condition Cases illustrating unexpected incidents that may provide new or relevant knowledge When a patient develops two or more unexpected diseases or ailments at the same time. Case reports are the simplest form of evidence, but they are also the first line of defence because they are where new issues and ideas develop. That's why they're at the bottom of our pyramid. The significance of the observation being reported will be obvious in a good case report. If many case reports show something similar, a case-control study to see if there is a link between the pertinent variables might be the next step. Some reports provide a comprehensive evaluation of the relevant literature. The case report is a quick way for busy doctors to communicate when they don't have the time or resources to conduct large-scale research.
