Cashirer Syndrome is a rare disease that occurs as a result of poor circulation in the upper body and is manifested by cold sweat on the face, neck and chest, as well as periodic chest pain. These symptoms may be accompanied by problems with the heart and lungs, which can lead to serious complications.

The syndrome was described in the 19th century by the German neurologist Rudolf Cassirer. Currently, this disease is known under several names: acrocyanosis of chronic anesthetic syndrome or chronic hypertrophy of acroasphyxia syndrome.

Cassirer's syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that is characterized by acrocyanosis on the hands and feet. This disease was discovered by the German neurologist Rudolf Cassirier in 1884.

Cassirer syndrome manifests itself in childhood and adolescence with the appearance of signs of acrocyanosis - cyanosis of the fingers and toes, cold-colored arms and legs against a background of pale skin. Most often the disease occurs in boys. Its first manifestation may be a slow reaction when reading, playing the piano, dancing or playing sports.
