Abstract:
Orthostatic hypotension with other signs of progressive neuronal degeneration particularly affecting the autonomic nervous system has been recognized independently and is called Shy-Drager syndrome. Degenerative changes in the autonomic ganglia, loss of neurons in the intermediolateral columns and degenerative changes in the neurons of the cortex and basal ganglia have been reported on examination of this condition. The authors report a case of Shy-Drager Syndrome with symptoms of orthosatatic hypotension, dysarthria, Parkinson's features, muscle wasting, sexual impotence, atonic bladder and loss of sweating.
