Abstract: The importance of clinical case reports and case series in medical literature has been acknowledged for centuries. Examples exist from as far back as 1600 BC from the ancient Egyptians, Hippocratic physicians in Greece in 400 BC and Galen in second century Rome.1 In 1920, William Osler, recognised as the father of modern medicine, is quoted as stating that physicians should “always note and record the unusual . . . Publish it. Place it on permanent record as a short, concise note. Such communications are always of value”.
