Irumodic syndrome

Irumodic Syndrome is a degenerative neurological disorder.

It causes deterioration of the brain's synaptic pathways, resulting in confusion, delusions, and eventually death.

This disease could take several years to develop, and several more before it proved deadly. The treatment as of 2370 was peridaxon, though this medicine only relieved the symptoms.

Genetic testing could determine if a person may develop Irumodic Syndrome later in life, but not all persons who tested positive would develop the condition.

Fun Fact:

In a timeline created by Q, Jean-Luc Picard suffered from this disease.
