An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

First reported in 1980 by J. Tuttle in a scientific article, feline hyperesthesia syndrome, also known as rolling skin disease, is a complex and poorly understood syndrome that can affect domestic cats of any age, breed, and sex. The syndrome may also be referred to as feline hyperaesthesia syndrome, apparent neuritis, atypical neurodermatitis, psychomotor epilepsy, pruritic dermatitis of Siamese, rolling skin syndrome, and twitchy cat disease. The syndrome usually appears in cats after they've reached maturity, with most cases first arising in cats between one and five years old.

dbo:abstract
  • Das Feline Hyperästhesie-Syndrom – auch als running fits oder Rolling Skin Syndrome bekannt – ist eine sehr seltene neurologische Erkrankung der Katzen unbekannter Ursache. Sie wird als Sonderform der Epilepsie angesehen. Die Erkrankung zeigt sich durch eine Überempfindlichkeit (Hyperästhesie) der Rückenmuskulatur und die anfallsartigen Symptome sind durch Betasten auslösbar. Solche Anfälle beginnen zumeist mit dem Belecken oder Bebeißen einer Gliedmaße und anschließenden Zuckungen der Rückenmuskulatur, die sich im weiteren Verlauf auf die Muskulatur des Brustkorbs ausdehnen. Im weiteren Verlauf beginnt das Tier, unkontrolliert im Raum herumzulaufen. Eine solche Episode dauert einige Sekunden bis Minuten. Da Katzen während eines Anfalls nicht ansprechbar sind, wird angenommen, dass sie Halluzinationen haben. Eine Diagnose kann nur durch Ausschluss anderer zentralnervöser Erkrankungen gestellt werden. In einigen Fällen spricht die Krankheit auf die Behandlung mit Phenobarbital oder Neuroleptika wie Risperidon an, ansonsten gibt es bislang keine etablierte Therapie. Die Heilungsaussichten sind schlecht. (de)
  • First reported in 1980 by J. Tuttle in a scientific article, feline hyperesthesia syndrome, also known as rolling skin disease, is a complex and poorly understood syndrome that can affect domestic cats of any age, breed, and sex. The syndrome may also be referred to as feline hyperaesthesia syndrome, apparent neuritis, atypical neurodermatitis, psychomotor epilepsy, pruritic dermatitis of Siamese, rolling skin syndrome, and twitchy cat disease. The syndrome usually appears in cats after they've reached maturity, with most cases first arising in cats between one and five years old. The condition is most commonly identified by frantic scratching, biting or grooming of the lumbar area, generally at the base of the tail, and a rippling or rolling of the dorsal (anatomy) lumbar skin. These clinical signs usually appear in a distinct episode, with cats returning to normal afterwards. During these episodes, affected cats can be extremely difficult to distract from their behaviour, and often appear to be absent-minded or in a trance-like state. Overall, the prognosis for the syndrome is good, so long as the syndrome does not result in excessive self-aggression and self-mutilation that may lead to infection. If a cat should mutilate their own tail or otherwise be mutilated, they should be taken to a professional for immediate medical attention, as an infection could cause more harm to them than the wound itself.
