Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Extremely rare: This is an extremely rare condition not described in the medical literature until 2002. A neuropsychiatrist is the specialty that makes this diagnosis. Because it is so rare other more common conditions need to be excluded first. Start with your primary care doctor for a full evaluation
