Possible Causes for Hyperosmia

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

This syndrome presents with a sudden onset of flu-like symptoms with no prior history of severe exhaustion. With the onset of flu-like symptoms, the patient complains of[…] [symptoma.com]

Basilar Migraine

BACKGROUND: It remains uncertain whether basilar-type migraine (BM) is a subtype of migraine with typical aura (MTA) or a distinct phenotype or genotype. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the symptomatology, familial distribution, and genotype of BM. METHODS: The authors recruited 105 families comprising 362 patients with MTA[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Addison Disease

Primary adrenal insufficiency, or Addison disease, has many causes, the most common of which is autoimmune adrenalitis. Autoimmune adrenalitis results from destruction of the adrenal cortex, which leads to deficiencies in glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and adrenal androgens. In the United States and Western[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Migraine without Aura

Abstract Because serotonin, released from platelets, has been suggested to initiate migraine, a decreased platelet serotonin content, attained by a reduced intake of serotonin and the serotonin precursor tryptophan, might be beneficial. In the brain, however, increased serotonin levels, achieved by a high[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ocular Migraine

Stroke. 1976 Jul-Aug;7(4):379-81. Abstract Thirty-three of 129 patients who incurred isolated ophthalmic migraine had monocular attacks of scotomatous visual field loss. Fifteen of 33 patients with monocular attacks had immediate or remote evidence of vascular disease. Four patients had carotid bruits on the same[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
