Allemanna Syndrome

Allemann syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that leads to disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system. It was named after the German urologist Raul Allemann, who discovered it in 1884.

Allemann syndrome manifests itself in a variety of symptoms, including seizures, paralysis, visual and hearing impairment, and mental disorders. One of the main manifestations is the need to blink several times per minute.

The cause of the disease is unknown, but it is believed to be related to genetic mutations. This explains why symptoms affect both sexes and are not limited to identical twins. However, the incidence of the disease is quite low: only 2-3 cases per million people.

Treatment in this case is impossible, since the disease is hereditary. However, some lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight and regular physical activity, can help reduce symptoms. Medicines may also be prescribed to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.
