Clinical case reports are invaluable first-hand source of evidence in medicine and a tool most often used in practice to exchange information and generate a more expanded search for evidence. In addition to the “evidence of what happened”, single or multiple cases are an important basis for further and more advanced research on diagnosis, treatment effectiveness, causes and outcomes of disease. However limited their conclusions may be, case reports remain a fundamental component of medicine, contributing greatly to the advancement of health care. In todays ever-expanding Evidence-Based Medicine, case reporting require a well-defined focus, content and structure.

Presently, only a fraction of case reports are useful for clinical decision-making and bedside-decision oriented research. Therefore, the aim of the Journal is to gather case reports across medical disciplines, thereby integrating interdisciplinary, international medical knowledge.
