Abstract: Case reports have contributed to clinical knowledge for millennia.The earliest known clinical case reports were included in Egyptian texts known as the Edwin Smith Papyrus from about 1600 BC (Nissen & Wynn, 2014).Case reports, for most of the history of medicine and clinical practice, have been a primary mode of communication and education between clinicians and clinical scientists.In the 18th century, the most frequently published article type in the Edinburgh Medical Journal was the case report (Nissen & Wynn, 2014).It's not surprising, then, that by about 1775, the structure of published case reports had been conventionalized and included the following sections: general patient information, initial examination or assessment, initial treatment and effects, and subsequent course of the condition.
