Is there such thing as a rare disease where any of a person's senses shuts down at any time?

Question

If any so or any other diesease similiar, what is the name?

Answer 1

It could happen to a person who is having psychological issues. I'm not sure if it has an exact name, but you'd probably find it under psycho-somatic illnesses.

Answer 2

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome MODS, previously known as multiple organ failure (MOF), is altered organ function in an acutely ill patient requiring medical intervention to maintain homeostasis.


The term MODS is defined as a clinical syndrome in which the development of progressive and potentially reversible physiological dysfunction in 2 or more organs or organ systems induced by a variety of acute insults, including sepsis, is characteristic.
