Abstract
Editorial The medical field is being brushed with various researches which provide us novelty in the specific field. Obser- vational studies or incidental findings are accepted as case reports for publi- cation. These findings are encountered during clinical and surgical practice, diagnostic procedures and dissection. A well-designed case report can easily cross all the barricades on the way of publication procedures. Hence, it is important to conceptualise and design a case report. This article highlights the basics requirements to construct the case report. Conclusion Case reports are indispensable resources in the medical literature. Case report serves not only to pub- lish rare or unusual observation, but also, essential, to report frequency of rare occurrence.
