Si tratta di un termine (francese derivato dal latino) per definire una sintomatologia proctorragica: "Sintomi a poussè". Il senso mi è chiaro: "sviluppo/esordio improvviso della sintomatologia" e lo tradurrei con un letterale "sudden developing/onset symptoms/symptomatology" che tuttavia non mi convince e non mi piace. Chiedo pertanto aiuto per cercare una forma più elegante. Grazie

Adrian MM.
: Sintomi is in the plural. So your (threadbare) answer presumably multiplies to flare-ups.

: To make it fit the context, you could say "recurrent flareups".

Insorgenza improvvisa di sintomi
1 day 8 hrs
acute exacerbation [of sx]
This would be my preference. It is closely linked to flare up, but more generic and thus more fitting here (I think that "flare up" is reserved for specific contexts)

Discussion
Or "Recurrent episodes of..."
"episodic symptoms", " episodic nature of the symptoms" might also work depending on context.
Why neurology? Doesn't "sintomatologia proctorragica" mean "anal bleeding"?
