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.

Do anyone noticed the tip that talked about her blood?
