It is generally accepted that we live in an enlightened society. Food is made with the help of science, epidemics are slowly receding, Mars is just a stone's throw away. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people suffer from very unusual diseases that modern medicine simply cannot explain. It would seem that the experience of doctors should show them the right way to solve any problem - in fact, the causes of the common migraine are still a secret behind seven seals. We have collected here some of the most bizarre cases of diseases that baffle even the best doctors on the planet.
Heart is out of place
A careless rider had a motorcycle accident - it would seem that this is the end of the fairy tale. But the terrible collision made the man's heart turn 90 degrees without causing any harm to the body. The doctors were never able to understand how this happened. But, for several years now, Italian experts have been trying to check the degree of mobility of the main human organs. In the long term, such developments can save someone's life - as soon as doctors understand the strange principles of our body.
Headless
A 24-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital complaining of constant dizziness and nausea. No wonder, as it turned out after the tomography. The beauty was simply born without a cerebellum, which did not interfere with her daily life until the last moment.

Musical pause
Imagine how nice it would be to hear music without any additional devices. But what if the melody never stops at all? Susan Ruth from Essex knows very well what this is like. For four years in a row, the guys from the Liverpool Four have been giving constant concerts in her head, and they play only The White Album. Her husband has to constantly scream, otherwise the music will not be drowned out. Doctors have no idea what caused this problem, and even more so - how to solve it.
Migraine
No doctor in the world knows what causes a migraine. Outbursts of terrible pain, capable of driving the most persistent person crazy, simply do not lend themselves to science. The only thing doctors know for sure is that migraine is inherited.
The disease of young virgins
And yet another, rather strange case of the disease has been troubling the town of El Carmen, Colombia for a hundred years. Every spring, several hundred local girls are simultaneously admitted to hospitals with the same syndromes: nausea, abdominal pain, numbness of the limbs. What can cause this strange disease with such frequency and such selectivity?
