Subscribe now >> Shy-Drager Syndrome Shy-Drager is often difficult totreat because of the fluctuations in blood pressure. The general treatment course is aimed at controlling symptoms. Anti-Parkinson medication, such as L-dopa, may be helpful but should be used with caution because it can lower blood pressure, causing blackouts. To relieve low blood pressure, dietary increases of salt and fluid may be beneficial. Medications to elevate blood pressure such as corticosteroids may cause side effects and should be carefully monitored by a physician. Alpha-adrenergic medications, metoclopramide, ergotamine derivatives, and indomethacin are useful in many cases. Sleeping in a head-up position at night may reduce headaches and morning dizziness. An artificial feeding tube or breathing tube may be surgically inserted for management of swallowing and breathing difficulties. In rare cases, a pacemaker may be implanted to correct heart irregularities. Shy-Drager usually ends in death 7 to 10 years after the onset of symptoms. Pneumonia is the most common cause of death, although irregularities in heart beat may be responsible for death in some patients.

Its symptoms are similar to those of Parkinson's disease in that patients may move slowly, be tremulous, and have a shuffling gait. However, in MSA there is more widespread neurologic damage and damage to the autonomic nervous system (the portion of the nervous system that controls involuntary functions). There is progressive degeneration of the nervous system, with damage to all parts of the nervous system, including the brain.

Search AHealthyMe! Personalize AHealthyMe! Sign up for our Newsletter! Shy-Drager syndrome Carol A. Turkington Definition Shy-Drager syndrome (SDS) is a rare condition that causes progressive damage to the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls vital involuntary body functions such as heart rate, breathing, and intestinal, urinary, and sexual functions. The autonomic nervous system also controls skin and body temperature, and how the body responds to stress. Shy-Drager syndrome leads to dizziness or fainting when standing up, urinary incontinence, impotence, and muscle tremors. Description SDS was named for neurologists Milton Shy, M.D., from the National Institutes of Health, and Glenn Drager, M.D., from the Baylor College of Medicine, who first described the condition in 1960. It typically affects those between ages 50-70. It affects more men than women. In severe cases, the person cannot even stand up. Symptoms can be mild as well. Sometimes, people with mild cases are misdiagnosed as having anxiety or hypertension. Many nonprescription drugs, such as cold medicines and diet capsules, can trigger extremely high blood pressure spikes in patients with SDS, even in very low doses. Therefore, these patients are at risk for strokes and excessive bleeding (hemorrhage) if they take even the recommended dosage of these drugs.

Overview History Faculty Research ... Patient Information Multiple System Atrophy Introduction: In multiple system atrophy, there is widespread autonomic failure associated with impairment in other neurological systems. The other neurological systems may be cerebellar, extrapyramidal, neuromuscular, or pyramidal. The pathological hallmark of MSA is neuronal loss and gliosis within multiple sites in the brain. Clinical Manifestations: The average age of onset is in the sixth decade of life. Men are affected twice as frequently as women are. In some patients, chronic glial cytoplasmic inclusion has been found to occur intracellularly in both glial cells and neurons of involved portions of the brain. This has been seen in patients carrying the clinical diagnosis of Shy-Drager syndrome, sporadic oligopontocerebellar atrophy, striatonigral degeneration, and corticobasal degeneration. These inclusions contain ubiquitin , but are quite distinct from Lewy bodies , which also contain ubiquitin. The glial cytoplasmic inclusions tend to be irregular in outline in contrast to the target-shaped concentric circular Lewy bodies. Some investigators have suggested a relationship between the Shy-Drager syndrome and Parkinson's disease, although this is not supported by the pathologic data accumulated to date.

Originally called the "Shy-Drager Syndrome" this complex syndrome is currently referred to as "Multiple System Atrophy" or MSA. The American Autonomic Society has defined MSA in the following manner: "MSA is a sporadic, progressive, adult onset disorder characterized by autonomic dysfunction, Parkinsonism, and ataxia (a failure of muscular coordination) in any combination. The features of the disorder include: Parkinsonism Cerebellar or Corticospinal Signs Orthostatic Hypotension, Impotence, Urinary Incontinence or Retention, usually preceding or within two years after the onset of the motor symptoms
