3 Case of Shy-Drager Syndrome

ABSTRACT

Shy-Drager syndrome is a multisystem degenerative disorder of the central nervous system in which progressive autonomic failure such as orthostatic hypotension, urinary or fecal incontinence, impotence and anhidrosis is a main feature. The nonautonomic neurological abnormalities include parkinsonia, cerebellar and pyramidal signs. In 1984 we met 3 such cases at Seoul National University Hospital and present them here with a brief review of literatures.
