Corneal dystrophies are a group of predominantly rare inherited disorders. They are by definition bilateral, relatively symmetrical, and without systemic involvement, affecting corneal transparency and/or refraction. Traditional classification of corneal dystrophies is based on slit-lamp appearance, affected corneal layer and histological features.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the bilateral stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and its proximal vessels, leading to the formation of compensatory smoke-like collateral vessels. This report describes the case of a 33-year-old Philippine woman who presented with acute right-sided hemiparesis and had a history of recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) with similar symptoms. Neuroimaging revealed intracranial hemorrhage and characteristic bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) with collateral vessel formation, indicative of moyamoya disease.

Acute postoperative parotitis, also known as anesthesia mumps, involves transient inflammation and enlargement of the parotid gland after general anesthesia. No case reports of acute postoperative parotitis after arthroscopic shoulder surgery have been reported to date. Therefore, we share our experience with a recent case of acute postoperative parotitis as a rare complication of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in lateral decubitus position.

DICER1 syndrome (DICERs) represents a tumor predisposition genetic syndrome, inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Germline loss-of-function variants of the gene lead to impaired processing of microRNA, gene expression, and increased risk of tumorigenesis. Although pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is the hallmark of the syndrome, multiple extrapulmonary malignant and non-malignant conditions have also been described, including multinodular goiter (MNG) and sex-cord stromal tumors.
