Hypergeusia

Last updated

Hypergeusia is a taste disorder where the sense is abnormally heightened. [1] [2] It can be associated with a lesion of the posterior fossa and Addison's disease; where a patient will crave for salty and sour taste due to the abnormal loss of ions with urine. [3]

Hypergeusia is the proposed term for Supertaster in scholarly literature. [1]
