Hi everybody! This Forum Game is based in the series "House MD".

It works like that: I tell the symptoms and the users try to find out what disease is. They may look on other sites to find out. As House's diagnosis are too complicated, the diseases here will be easier. Each user have 3 guesses. Let's begin...

Patient: 30-year-old female.

Symptoms: Severe headache, nasal congestion, toothache and lacrimation (she is tearing for no apparent reason). Facial X-Ray is showing an anomaly.

Can you discover what it is? Tip: is a common condition caused by inflamation of the facial bones.

CIDP isn't genetic, from what I understand of it.

I've got nothing. A few ideas, but none of them fit. He's too old to have GAPO without any symptoms, and he'd be dead if he had Progeria. I'm stuck.

I checked over it. You're right it isn't. I'm stuck too.

Yeah he said there was't which was why I thought it was CIDP. But he also says it's genetic and CIDP isn't.

CIDP's treatment didn't worked. No bladder problem from Guillain-Barré.

NEW TIP: The tests showed a situation similar to the CIPD, but CIPD is ruled out.

I will leave the computer, so leave your guesses!

Sjogren Syndrome or Behcet Syndrome. I honestly have no clue.

NEW TIP: The Nodes of Ranvier are slightly swollen. That explain why the lack of sensitivity.

Technical explanation: this disease is so rare that it's symptoms are almost unknown. Judging by that, I suggest you to ignore the patient's age because he maybe wouldn't survive to that disease for 19 long years. Less than 20 cases were reported since the 1880's when it was discovered.

Uh... sorry, but telling you that would reveal the disease's name :P

Is it tuberous sclerosis, aka Bourneville's disease, that has somehow only affected the nervous system?
