Introduction[edit | edit source]
In 2016, United States diplomats in Havana began to report unusual sensory and auditory stimuli, as well as dizziness, tinnitus, and other cognitive manifestations. A 6-7 month follow-up revealed persistent abnormalities in the cognitive, vestibular, and oculomotor domains. The variety of presenting symptoms made diagnosis difficult, so many theorised about the origin of the injury. Later, the Canadian diplomats and their families stationed in Havana described a similar set of symptoms.
Aetiology[edit | edit source]
The primary cause of these changes is unknown, and unravelling this mystery will necessitate additional research into the association between neural effects and symptoms. However, one study suggested that these symptoms were caused by acquired neurotoxicity. As a result, overexposure to cholinesterase inhibitors is hypothesised to be a possible cause.
