Hidden tetany (tetangia latens) is a serious disease that can have serious consequences for human health. This disease manifests itself as a sudden disturbance in muscle tone and muscle contraction, accompanied by painful sensations. Latent tetany can be caused by various factors, such as the use of alcohol, drugs, medications, and trauma to the central nervous system.
Symptoms of latent tetany can be varied and manifest differently in each person. In most cases, a person begins to experience sudden muscle contractions in any part of the body, up to the head and limbs. Typically, pain and cramping occurs suddenly, without an obvious cause or obvious warning, and can last from a few minutes to several hours. However, in some patients, acute tetany lasts for several days or even weeks, which can lead to serious consequences.
Latent tetany has a high degree of danger to the life and health of the patient
