From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hypergeusia is a taste disorder where the sense is abnormally heightened. [1] [2]

It can be associated with a lesion of the posterior fossa and Addison's Disease; where a patient will crave for salty and sour taste due to the abnormal loss of ions with urine.[3]
