Profishe Syndrome

Profiche syndrome is a rare and little-studied disease that is characterized by the appearance of auditory hallucinations of varying severity. It was discovered by the French physician Gabriel Charles Profilé in the 19th century.

The disease was first described in August 1869 by French neurologist Max Beaubourg in France, where a case was documented by Adolphe and Jean-Louis Marie Furier in March 1880. It was later observed in European countries, including England, Germany, Italy and Portugal.

The basis of the pathogenesis of this syndrome is damage to the temporomandibular complex, the brain stem and some areas of the mediobasal parts of the temporal cortex of the brain. When examining patients of Professor A.V. Triumphov, Professor V.A. Zhdanov, Professor G.S. Rozenshtraukh, lesions of the vascular system of the brain were revealed, with a predominance of brainstem disorders. The disease may also be associated with skull injuries.

Symptoms of the syndrome can range from minimal manifestations (in the form of subjective acoustic hallucinations, sensations of noise interference, background noise, auditory disorder of the “background” type, sensation of “chalk noise”) to very severe conditions (fear of intimacy or death, affective disorders)

Treatment of prosch syndrome usually requires an integrated approach and includes psychotherapy, drug therapy, physical therapy and other treatment methods. The most effective treatment method is psychotherapy aimed at reducing anxiety, increasing self-esteem and improving communication skills. Drug therapy may include antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and other medications as prescribed by a psychiatrist.

Profish syndrome is a serious problem for society, as its consequences can be serious and require lengthy and complex therapy. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment, it is possible to achieve a significant improvement in the patient's condition.
