Description
Sagar Jolly and co-authors report a case of repeated body cooling spells in a woman with a large skull-base tumor, in work from 2026. The patient was sixty-nine and in rehabilitation after the tumor returned. Her cooling episodes were first blamed on infection.
The spells followed a daily rhythm and came with confusion, low blood counts across all cell lines, and signs of central hormone faults. Scans showed the tumor pressing on the hypothalamus, the brain's thermostat. Infection and adrenal failure were ruled out. Warming ended each spell, and the blood counts recovered on their own. The team names the syndrome and urges early recognition in skull-base tumor care.
