Voiding dysfunction in Shy-Drager syndrome. 1985

J S Wheeler, and J R Canning

The neurological syndrome described by Shy and Drager includes urinary symptoms of incontinence and retention. We present the urodynamic evaluation of 2 patients with this syndrome, which demonstrated different sources for the symptoms and led to 2 separate effective treatments.

D001750	Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic	Dysfunction of the URINARY BLADDER due to disease of the central or peripheral nervous system pathways involved in the control of URINATION. This is often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, but may also be caused by BRAIN DISEASES or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES.

D012791	Shy-Drager Syndrome	A progressive neurodegenerative condition of the central and autonomic nervous systems characterized by atrophy of the preganglionic lateral horn neurons of the thoracic spinal cord. This disease is generally considered a clinical variant of MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY. Affected individuals present in the fifth or sixth decade with ORTHOSTASIS and bladder dysfunction; and later develop FECAL INCONTINENCE; anhidrosis; ATAXIA; IMPOTENCE; and alterations of tone suggestive of basal ganglia dysfunction.
