dsolve(x^4*diff(y(x),x)^2+2*x^3*y(x)*diff(y(x),x)-4=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {2 i}{x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {2 i}{x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {2 \sinh \left (-\ln \left (x \right )+c_{1} \right )}{x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {2 \sinh \left (-\ln \left (x \right )+c_{1} \right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}
