Herpes zoster (HZ, shingles) is caused by reactivated varicella zoster virus, that travels along the peripheral branches from its dormant location in neurons of spinal and cranial sensory ganglia. HZ is well known for its skin vesicular eruptions and severe sensory neuropathy. Over the years, reports have described the occurrence of segmental paresis of skeletal muscles and the involvement of the large and small intestine, clinically resembling intestinal obstruction. The spread of the virus to the motor and autonomic nervous systems is discussed here based on the neuroanatomical pathways and with reference to the unfamiliar manifestations observed in a recently hospitalised HZ case. A 66-year-old male of Egyptian descent, initially developed muscle aches in the right loin, altered touch sensation in the overlying skin and bouts of stabbing pain. These were followed on day two by the appearance of an abdominal wall swelling, 10 × 12 cm, in the right lumbar region. On day four, he complained of nausea, bloating, abdominal distension, and constipation. Examination revealed reduced intestinal sounds, and CT scans showed distended intestine with gas and fluid levels. On day five, vesicular skin rash characteristic of HZ appeared along dermatomes of the right spinal nerves T10 to L1. Surgeons and medical practitioners should be made aware of these unfamiliar presentations of HZ, especially as these may precede the archetypal skin rash, to evade unnecessary surgical intervention.

The blunt laryngotracheal traumatism can be frequently ignored by the patient itself due to the scarcity of symptoms related to this form of injury within the first hours. The importance of the damage can be not proportional to the rarity of clinical signs. In this article we are about to present a serious form of laryngeal damage in a patient with no vital signs

The use of cannabis has become increasingly popular in recent years, and there is ongoing debate and research on its potential effects on human health. While some studies have suggested that cannabis use can have negative effects on sexual function and fertility, there has been little research on its potential effects on penile growth. The aim of this study is to investigate the perceived relationship between cannabis use and penile growth in human males. Methods: This study used a survey approach, with a sample of 10,000 men aged 18-35 who self-reported their cannabis use and their perceptions of changes in penile growth. Participants were asked to provide information on their cannabis use habits, including frequency, duration, and method of consumption, as well as their perceptions of any changes in penile growth since they began using cannabis. Results: The results of the study showed that men who reported using cannabis had a statistically significant increase in perceived average penile length compared to those who did not use cannabis (p<0.05). The effect was found to be more pronounced in men who reported using cannabis regularly, with a mean increase in perceived penile length of 2.54 cm among daily users. Conclusion: It seems that regular cannabis use does not have a negative impact on public health in a manner detectable using health indicators, and could help to the growth of the penis in adult male humans.

Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare intraepithelial cancer. It is more common in women and usually develops in apocrine gland-bearing areas, Less frequenly, EMPD can affect males in the anogenital area. EMPD may present with a focal, multifocal, or an ectopic lesion. We report a case of a 56-year-old male with extra-mammary Paget’s disease.

Mycotic Aneurysms are aneurysms (or pseudoaneurysms) which result from an infectious etiology. Group-B Strep (GBS) associated mycotic aneurysms are exceedingly rare and current literature varies on presentation and diagnostic criteria. This case is a rare presentation of a likely mycotic aortic arch pseudoaneurysm induced from GBS Bacteremia and cervical osteomyelitis in a 60-year-old male.

Background: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum that affects in later stages the central nervous system. Case Presentation: 37-year-old male with history of stimulant use disorder and depression with misdiagnosed blurred vision for one year duration. Syphilis serologies positive, cerebrospinal fluid positive for IgG and IgM Syphilis. Treated with Penicillin G for 14 days. Discussion: Neurosyphilis cases are currently on the rise and need to be considered as differential when presenting with atypical psychiatric or neurological symptoms. The diagnosis is based on serological markers in the blood and cerebrospinal fluids. Cerebral imaging studies are encouraged for early detection as well.

Laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare disease of viral etiology that can obstruct the airway. Symptomatic treatment is essentially surgical. Anesthetic management needs special attention due to a narrow airway that will be shared with the surgical team. We discuss the perioperative management of a child with recurrent papillomatosis and possible strategies to manage similar cases.
