Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare degenerative condition. It is a condition that appears similar to Parkinson's disease in that patients may be slow moving, tremulous and have a shuffling gait but with more widespread neurologic damage and damage to the autonomic nervous system (the portion of the nervous system that controls involuntary functions). The cause is unknown. There is progressive damage (degeneration) of the nervous system, with damage to all parts of the nervous system. The disorder develops gradually. It is most often diagnosed in men over 60 years old.

To relieve low blood pressure while standing, dietary increases of salt and fluid may be beneficial. Medications to elevate blood pressure, such as salt-retaining steroids, are often necessary, but they can cause side effects and should be carefully monitored by a physician. Alpha-adrenergic medications, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and sympathomimetic amines are sometimes used. Sleeping in a head-up position at night reduces morning orthostatic hypotension. An artificial feeding tube or breathing tube may be surgically inserted for management of swallowing and breathing difficulties.

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.

Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources 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.

Shy-Drager Syndrome Description This article submitted by on 11/8/97. Email Address: http://miso.wwa.com:80/~claudec/shydrager/ History and Description The Shy-Drager syndrome is a baffling condition that affects one in 10,000 people, mainly those between ages 50 and 70. The victims have abnormally low blood pressure which can cause dizziness and fainting - but only when standing up. Blood pressure may actually be high when the patient lies down. While severely affected patients may be unable to stand up at all, mildly affected patients may be misdiagnosed as having anxiety or even hypertension. Many over-the-counter drugs like cold preparations and diet capsules can cause extraordinary elevations of blood pressure even in very low dosages in such individuals. The patients are thus at risk for stroke and hemorrhage if they take the "recommended" amounts of these drugs. In the Shy-Drager syndrome (multiple system atrophy), autonomic failure is widespread and is associated with impairment in other neurologic systems. The autonomic dysfunction in the Shy-Drager syndrome can be viewed predominantly as a central defect with an inability to engage a generally healthy peripheral autonomic system. Patients with the Shy-Drager syndrome typically have extensive autonomic failure with impairment linked to several different neurological systems. In these patients, chronic orthostatic hypotension may be a presenting symptom; in other cases, extrapyramidal symptoms or cerebellar symptoms may predominate early in the course. In patients with cerebellar involvement tremor is worsened by nicotine and Shy-Drager patients generally discontinue smoking at the onset of their disease. Although the cause remains unknown, antibodies

Shy-Drager Syndrome Return to Index Return to Alphabetical Contents Click here to return to What is Parkinsons. My mum's neuro has said she needs to go into hospital for some more tests but I am a little unsure what he is looking for. She is on a very small dose of sinemet and no other meds. The dose gives her a limited amount of mobility but she sleeps all of the time. She has had a few serious falls recently and they found her blood pressure to be really low. She is going to have some brain wave tests and they are going to look at the sinemet. They say that the low dose of sinemet that she takes should not cause the sleepiness. She drifts into a world of her own and is not with it half of the time. She talks about strange things and does not understand what is going on around her half of the time. I feel quite sad and am worried about some sort of dementia. I know that I lost my mum a long time ago but I cannot stop hoping that she will come back. She is going into a neuro hospital here in England Please have your mum's doctor check for orthostatic hypertension and think about Shy-Drager syndrome. This is a Parkinson's Plus disease characterized by extreme blood pressure fluctuations. Many people with SD receive little benefit from Sinemet and, in fact, Sinemet can make the BP problems worse and can cause hallucinations. A lot of people who are initially diagnosed with Parkinson's are re-diagnosed 2-3 years later with a P+ syndrome.

Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension And Shy-Drager Syndrome Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension And Shy-Drager Syndrome Idiopathic orthostatic hypotension is a syndrome of symptoms due to degeneration of postganglionic sympathetic neurons confined to the autonomic nervous system. The Shy-Drager syndrome is multiple systems degeneration with more widespread neurologic damage, including autonomic dysfunction with cerebellar ataxia, parkinsonism, corticospinal and corticobulbar tract dysfunction, and amyotrophy. (See also Ch. 200. In the Shy-Drager syndrome, bulbar dysfunction and laryngeal stridor may be fatal. Occasionally, the physical and pathologic findings are those of Parkinson's disease plus involvement of the intermediolateral cell columns of the spinal cord. In both syndromes, autonomic failure results in orthostatic hypotension, impotence, urinary retention, fecal incontinence, decreased sweating, iris atrophy, and decreased tearing and salivation. The notion of peripheral denervation is supported by absent pressor responses to tyramine infusion and by supersensitivity to infused norepinephrine support. Treatment includes intravascular volume expansion with fludrocortisone given 0.1 to 0.6 mg/day po, salt supplementation, application of constrictive garments to the lower body (including the abdomen), and

What is Shy-Drager Syndrome/Multiple System Atrophy? autonomic nervous system. The second patient subsequently expired and the postmortem examination provided evidence that he had a distinct and unique disease. Drs. Shy and Drager recognized that there was a link between low blood pressure during erect posture (orthostatic hypotension) and disturbances in the central autonomic system. To acknowledge their contribution, this disorder is known as "Shy-Drager Syndrome" (SDS). Today, Shy-Drager Syndrome (also called Multiple System Atrophy ) is a neurological disease resulting from degeneration of certain nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Body functions controlled by these areas of the brain and spinal cord function abnormally in patients with this disease. These include the autonomic nervous system or involuntary nervous system (which controls blood pressure, heart rate, and bladder function) and the motor system (control of balance and muscle movement). People in all parts of the world are affected, with onset usually between ages 45 and 60. Approximately 75,000 Americans have this disease. The cause of the disease is not known. It is not inherited and it is not contagious. Depending upon which part of the brain is affected first, the MSA may appear in different ways.
