chronic mountain sickness - condition from living for long periods at high altitudes
Definition for chronic mountain sickness
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a disease that can develop during extended time living at altitude.
more
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a disease that can develop during extended time living at altitude. It is also known as 'Monge’s disease' , after its first description in 1925 by Carlos Monge. The acute form of mountain or altitude sickness is acute mountain sickness, and is experienced shortly after ascent to high altitude. In contrast, chronic mountain sickness may develop after many years of living at high altitude. In medicine, high altitude is defined as over 2500 metres, but most cases of CMS occur at over 3000 m.
