Burning Mouth Syndrome 25/03/13 11:36 Medscape Reference Reference News Reference Education MEDLINE Burning Mouth Syndrome Author: Vincent D Eusterman, MD, DDS; Chief Editor: Arlen D Meyers, MD, MBA more... Updated: Jan 26, 2012 Background Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is an idiopathic condition characterized by a continuous burning sensation of the mucosa of the mouth, typically involving the tongue, with or without extension to the lips and oral mucosa. Classically, burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is accompanied by gustatory disturbances (dysgeusia, parageusia) and subjective xerostomia. By definition, no macroscopic alterations in oral mucosa are apparent. Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) occurs most frequently, but not exclusively, in peri-menopausal and postmenopausal women. See the following illustration. A 29-year-old female presents with tongue irritation. A diagnosis of benign migratory glossitis (geographic tongue) is made by the appearance. The portions of the tongue with atrophic filiform papilla are symptomatic to acidic foods. Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a clinical diagnosis made via the exclusion of all other causes. No universally accepted diagnostic criteria, laboratory tests, imaging studies or other modalities definitively diagnose or exclude burning mouth syndrome (BMS). Various attempts to classify burning mouth syndrome (BMS) based on etiology and symptoms have been made. In a classification by etiology or cause, idiopathic burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is considered “primary BMS” (or "true BMS"), whereas “secondary BMS” has an identifiable cause. For the purposes of this article, we will use these terms. Another classification of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is based on symptoms, stratifying cases into 3 types, as follows:[1] Type 1 burning mouth syndrome (BMS): Patients have no symptoms upon waking, with progression throughout the day. -

Abstract Chronic orofacial pain is a symptom associated with a wide range of neuropathic, neurovascular, idiopathic, and myofascial conditions that affect a significant proportion of the population. While the collective impact of the subset of the orofacial pain disorders involving neurogenic and idiopathic mechanisms is substantial, some of these are relatively uncommon. Hence, patients with these disorders can be vulnerable to misdiagnosis, sometimes for years, increasing the symptom burden and delaying effective treatment. This manuscript first reviews the decision tree to be followed in diagnosing any neuropathic pain condition, as well as the levels of evidence needed to make a diagnosis with each of several levels of confidence: definite, probable, or possible. -

SHROOM3 Is a Novel Candidate for Heterotaxy Identified by Whole Exome Sequencing Tariq Et Al
SHROOM3 is a novel candidate for heterotaxy identified by whole exome sequencing Tariq et al. Tariq et al. Genome Biology 2011, 12:R91 http://genomebiology.com/2011/12/9/R91 (21 September 2011) Tariq et al. Genome Biology 2011, 12:R91 http://genomebiology.com/2011/12/9/R91 RESEARCH Open Access SHROOM3 is a novel candidate for heterotaxy identified by whole exome sequencing Muhammad Tariq1, John W Belmont2, Seema Lalani2, Teresa Smolarek3 and Stephanie M Ware1,3* Abstract Background: Heterotaxy-spectrum cardiovascular disorders are challenging for traditional genetic analyses because of clinical and genetic heterogeneity, variable expressivity, and non-penetrance. In this study, high-resolution SNP genotyping and exon-targeted array comparative genomic hybridization platforms were coupled to whole-exome sequencing to identify a novel disease candidate gene. Results: SNP genotyping identified absence-of-heterozygosity regions in the heterotaxy proband on chromosomes 1, 4, 7, 13, 15, 18, consistent with parental consanguinity. Subsequently, whole-exome sequencing of the proband identified 26,065 coding variants, including 18 non-synonymous homozygous changes not present in dbSNP132 or 1000 Genomes. Of these 18, only 4 - one each in CXCL2, SHROOM3, CTSO, RXFP1 - were mapped to the absence-of- heterozygosity regions, each of which was flanked by more than 50 homozygous SNPs, confirming recessive segregation of mutant alleles. Sanger sequencing confirmed the SHROOM3 homozygous missense mutation and it was predicted as pathogenic by four bioinformatic tools. SHROOM3 has been identified as a central regulator of morphogenetic cell shape changes necessary for organogenesis and can physically bind ROCK2, a rho kinase protein required for left-right patterning. -
Burning Mouth Syndrome
Burning Mouth Syndrome Burning Mouth Syndrome Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a benign condition that presents as a burning sensation in the absence of any obvious findings in the mouth and in the absence of abnormal blood tests. BMS affects around 2% of the population with women being up to seven times more likely to be diagnosed than men. Female patients are predominately post-menopausal, although men and pre/peri-menopausal women may also be affected. For most patients, burning is experienced on the tip and sides of the tongue, top of the tongue, roof of the mouth, and the inside surface of the lips, although the pattern is highly variable and burning may occur anywhere in the mouth. A patient may feel he/she has burnt the mouth with hot food and there may be a sour, bitter, or metallic taste in the mouth. The mouth may also feel dry and food may have less flavor. Some patients may also report a “draining” or “crawling” sensation in the mouth. The onset of BMS is usually gradual with no known precipitating factor or event. Three clinical patterns have been well characterized: 1. No or little burning upon waking in the morning, with burning developing as the day progresses, and worst by evening. 2. Continuous symptoms throughout the day from the time one awakens. 3. Intermittent symptoms with some symptom-free days, least commonly observed presentation QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME Q: What causes BMS? A: No one really knows what causes BMS. However, it is believed to be a form of neuropathic pain. -

Details about the recruitment and selection procedure have been described elsewhere (1). Briefly, among the 15 people with radiologically documented SIT, those who had symptoms reminiscent of PCD, or who were formally diagnosed with PCD according to their medical record, were categorized as having Kartagener syndrome. Those who had no reported symptoms or formal diagnosis of PCD were assigned to the non-PCD SIT group. Handedness was assessed using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI) (2). Tables 1 and S1 give overviews of the participants and their characteristics. Note that one non-PCD SIT subject reported being forced to switch from left- to right-handedness in childhood, in which case five out of nine of the non-PCD SIT cases are naturally left-handed (Table 1, Table S1). -
RISK FACTORS of BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME: UN UPDATE Cristina Popa, Carmen Stelea, Eugenia Popescu
Romanian Journal of Oral Rehabilitation Vol. 3, No. 3, July 2011 RISK FACTORS OF BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME: UN UPDATE Cristina Popa, Carmen Stelea, Eugenia Popescu Department of Oral and Maxilo-facial Surgery Abstract: Burning mouth syndrome has never been associated with a specific medical conditions, although associations were reported with a wide variety of health and chronic pain conditions. The painful mouth syndrome revealed the lack of specific criteria for diagnosis. Stomatodynia is characterized by the existence or coexistence of local, general and psychological etiologic factors. Local factors, the most frequently involved was candidiasis, incorrectly adjusted dentures, contact allergies and oral parafunctions. Among the general factors that recordered a higher frequency, we mention : menopause, diabetes, previous medications and iron deficiency anemia. Regarding the psychological factors, there were identified: stress, anxiety, depression, mental lability and mental disorders. Key words: burning mouth syndrome, tongue pain, glossodynia, menopause, dry mouth. INTRODUCTION and pain in other areas.
