Most of the articles published so far are case studies and
predominantly based on isolated cases. Although some contain diagnostic hypotheses, there is yet no consensus over the etiology, risk
factors, and epidemiology of this condition. A number of important studies have been conducted using anonymous questionnaires available
to the general public, via internet. Based on these questionnaires diagnoses have been made and conclusions drawn. None of those studies
utilized control groups for comparison.
There is a need for larger studies in order to better understand the clinical picture.
There is also a need for good diagnostic criteria. Otherwise many cases may remain unnoticed or misdiagnosed.
