Katedry i Kliniki Neurologii Ak. Med., Wrocławiu.

Two cases are presented of Shy-Drager syndrome of various clinical symptomatology. The authors call attention to differential diagnosis and the usefulness of electrophysiological examinations in this syndrome. The particular diagnostic value of evoked auditory brainstem potential examination is stressed.

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.
