Home About Us The Brain Healthy Brain ... Site Map DHTML_MENU_rel_path = '/squizlib/dhtml_menu/images/'; Shy Drager Syndrome (Multiple System Atrophy) Description Shy-Drager Syndrome (Multiple System Atrophy) (SDS)(MSA) is a a rare degenerative condition 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 do not function normally in sufferers. These functions include the autonomic or involuntary nervous system (which controls blood pressure, heart rate, and bladder function) and the motor system (which controls balance and muscle movement). The syndrome is named after the two doctors who first identified it in 1960. The cause is unknown. It affects one in 10,000 people and is most often diagnosed in men older than 60. It is two or three times more common among men than among women. Depending upon which part of the brain is affected first, MSA may appear in different ways. Sometimes it presents with low blood pressure on standing, urinary bladder problems, or difficulties with balance and movement that resemble Parkinson's disease. Early symptoms often include impotence and urinary incontinence. Most patients complain of severe constipation and later develop rectal incontinence. Orthostatic hypotension – an excessive drop in blood pressure when the patient stands up causing light-headedness or dizziness - is a universal feature of SDS. It is worse after meals and early in the day. When orthostatic hypotension becomes severe (i.e. blood pressure of less than 70/40) ‘blackouts’ may result. When the patient falls to a prone position, the blood pressure returns toward normal and the patient will regain consciousness.

Associated persons: Glenn Albert Drager George Milton Shy Description: A progressive disorder of the autonomic nervous system in which chronic orthostatic hypotension is associated with bladder and bowel incontinence, Parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, impotence, visual troubles, tremor and disturbances of sweating, and muscle wasting leading to severe invalidism. Central nervous system manifestations may be identical to those of Parkinson's. Autonomic neurones are degenerated and there may be atrophic areas in the basal ganglia, midbrain and brainstem. Onset usually takes place in the sixth or seventh decades, most persons becoming disabled within 5 to 7 years. More males than females are affected. Frequency is 1 in 10.000 persons. The aetiology is unknown.

Conditions InBrief Shy-Drager Syndrome (Multiple System Atrophy with Postural Hypotension; Striatonigral Degeneration) by Debra Wood, RN Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition Shy-Drager syndrome is a degenerative disorder of the nervous system. Multiple areas of the nervous system can be affected, such as the parts that control motor and involuntary functions. The motor system controls movement and balance. The involuntary, or autonomic, nervous system controls body functions (for example, blood pressure and bowel and bladder function). Shy-Drager syndrome may cause postural hypotension. Postural hypotension is a drop in blood pressure after changing position. Causes It is unknown what causes the degeneration or nerve loss in Shy-Drager syndrome. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for Shy-Drager syndrome include: Age: Middle age or older Sex: Male Symptoms Symptoms associated with the involuntary nerves usually occur first.

Alternative Names: Shy-Drager Syndrome; Neurologic orthostatic hypotension; Shy-McGee-Drager syndrome; Parkinson's plus syndrome Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.

Implicit in this document is the need to bid good-bye to the use of the term "Shy-Drager syndrome" to identify a condition that was first described in 1962 Milton Shy and Glen Drager detailed the clinical features of two patients who had both orthostatic hypotension and central nervous system signs, and they carefully studied the neuropathologic changes in one of these patients . Their conclusion that orthostatic hypotension and central nervous system dysfunction were probably related is obvious today but at the time seemed prescient.

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.
