Abstract Background Meningitis retention syndrome (MRS) is a rare condition that presents with acute urinary retention as a complication of aseptic meningitis. Cases of MRS due to varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection without a rash are rare. We report the case of a patient who had no signs of meningitis or VZV infection, including a rash. Case presentation A 58-year-old man presented with dysesthesia of the lower limbs and acute urinary retention. He had fever but no rash and no signs of meningitis. He was diagnosed to have VZV infection based on the detection of VZV DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid. He responded satisfactorily to a course of intravenous acyclovir and experienced no sequelae during a 2-year follow-up period. Conclusion MRS due to aseptic meningitis of viral origin should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute urinary retention even in the absence of specific signs and symptoms of meningitis or a suggestive rash.

Background: Varicose veins of the lower extremities are one of the most common peripheral vascular diseases and calls for treatment due to the morbidity and economic impact due to loss of productivity and work hours. Therefore, the present study has been undertaken evaluate the various clinical aspects of varicose veins of lower limb of the patients.Methods: The clinical study and observations in this study were based on a clinical proforma which included the determination of Ratio of varicose veins to the total number of cases with vascular complaints, type of vascular complaints, The relationship between the age of the patient and the disease, The sex ratio, The relationship of occupation and the disease, The different presenting complaints, The venous system involved, The limb involved and predisposing factors in the Patients with Varicose Veins.Results: Out of the 382 patients admitted with vascular complaints, only 42 cases were afflicted with varicose veins of the lower extremities. Maximum incidence was in the age group 21-40 years (61.9%). Male preponderance was observed. The most common presenting complaint was pain which varied from dragging pain to night cramps associated with heaviness of the limbs.Conclusions: Our study reveals that the disease is most prevalent in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life. Most of the patients had long saphenous vein involvement while short saphenous vein was involved in 3 cases and 4 cases had involvement of both venous systems. Many of the patients had perforator incompetency indicating advanced hemodynamic malfunction. Therefore, it was concluded that occupation involving prolonged standing and/ or violent muscular contractions contribute to or precipitate varicose veins if not actually cause them.
