Abstract: A case report or a case series is a detailed narrative documenting a medical issue encountered by one or more patients, intended for medical, scientific, or educational purposes.1 The significance of recording and disseminating distinctive clinical cases can be traced back to medical professionals in ancient Egypt. 2 Today, case reports (and series) continue to play a crucial role in disseminating medical insights that may not be fully captured through conventional research methods.3 Detailing novel incidents, uncommon adverse reactions, or singular experiences can enhance future patient care by offering insights that might remain unnoticed in clinical trials.4 Additionally, case reports can serve as starting points for larger studies and provide valuable educational experiences for gastroenterology fellows, as they involve literature reviews that contribute to future clinical expertise and academic inquiry.Within gastroenterology, there is a vast diversity of pathology, technological advancements, and novel treatments lending itself to fantastic subject matter for case reports.5,6 Here we provide guidance on how to write a case report.
