Abstract:
Pure autonomic failure (PAF) is an α-synucleinopathy featured by slowly progressive autonomic failure. A patient who presented with orthostatic hypotension associated dizziness and syncope, postprandial hypotension, supine hypertension and anhidrosis, was hospitalized. The patient did not show incontinence, urinary retention, constipation, ataxia, and extrapyramidal symptoms. In combination of the description of the patient′s symptoms with PAF related references, the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PAF and its relationship with other α-synucleinopathies were demonstrated in this report.
