Pain agnosia is a rare neurological disease that can occur in a person as a result of a disruption in the processing and analysis of sensory information entering the brain. It is characterized by the fact that a person cannot recognize or describe the source of the pain he is experiencing, even if it is quite severe.
The cause of the disease is a disruption in the areas of the brain responsible for processing pain, but the specific mechanism for the development of the disorder is still unknown. Only those circumstances are known under which pain agnosia can occur:
- Tumors or hemorrhages in the brain area; - Stroke, including consequences; - Metabolism; -
