Abstract
[Extract] Over the last decade, the advent of big data and the unrelenting focus on evidence-based medicine from large datasets have raised questions about the relevance and value of medical case reports within the medical literature. Nevertheless, case reports documenting individual patients’ detailed experiences and outcomes have long been a cornerstone of medical knowledge. This editorial highlights the importance of case reports as a valid and indispensable contribution to medical literature and argues that the focus on large datasets should not overshadow them.
