Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Hematology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Polycythemia can lead to decreased cerebral blood flow due to increased blood viscosity and microemboli.
  • Decreased cerebral blood flow may manifest as visual disturbances like dysmorphopsia and teichopsia, potentially triggering panic and agoraphobia.
