%X Medical and other scientific literature follow a peculiar repetitive pattern in their (r)evolution. They begin with an a concept (or a case) which forces us to think and deliberate on it. Be it the famous ¡®Apple fall¡¯ leading to proposal of gravity or unexpected growth of mould leading to discovery of Penicillin. Such happenings occur and define a turning point, which further ramify into organized studies and data accumulation. As argued by Thomas S Khun in his book ¡°The Structure of Scientific Revolution¡± the ¡®development-by-accumulation¡¯ model of science is interrupted by episodic accelerations which are sparked by individual observations or thought process [1]. Such observations and deliberations (or anomalies) are, what we can define as the ¡®Epitome of Case Reports¡¯.
