👉 Macropistosis, also known as macropia or macroscatology, is a medical condition that occurs when cells in an organ grow too rapidly and disrupt normal function. It can affect various organs, including the eyes, ears, lungs, heart, and brain, leading to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and difficulty breathing. This disorder is often caused by a genetic defect or exposure to certain substances like tobacco smoke, chemicals, or radiation.
