Case reports are descriptions of practice that can generate ideas, hypotheses, and techniques that can be studied later through controlled experiments. This conveys experiences to other clinicians while revealing hypotheses for future research. It might persuade or motivate other practitioners, or help develop practice guidelines and critical pathways (McEwen, 2001).
