      In this volume of iGIE we introduce the "International Case Reports" section, which aims to highlight interesting clinical findings and innovative solutions that arise in resource-limited settings. Featured cases may include disease processes that are not commonly seen in tertiary care centers of the Western world and remind the discerning clinician to maintain a broad differential. Additionally, cases may describe novel, thought-provoking solutions that arise when the spirit of ingenuity operates in an environment of restricted means.
