Sweet taste dysgeusia is a rare symptom where patients experience all food as having a sweet taste. While its cause is still unknown, it has been increasingly reported in the setting of lung cancer and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone-related hyponatremia. In this case report, we present what we believe to be the first case of sweet taste dysgeusia in a non-cancer context. We will briefly review and summarize all published cases describing this symptom and also reflect upon the nature of this condition focusing on the role of serum sodium levels in sweet taste receptor modulation.
甜味味觉障碍是一种罕见症状,患者会感觉所有食物都有甜味。虽然其病因尚不清楚,但在肺癌及抗利尿激素分泌异常综合征相关低钠血症的情况下,该症状的报道日益增多。在本病例报告中,我们呈现了我们认为在非癌症背景下首例甜味味觉障碍病例。我们将简要回顾和总结所有描述该症状的已发表病例,并聚焦血清钠水平在甜味受体调节中的作用,思考这种病症的本质。
