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. Bibliography: G. M. Shy, G. A. Drager:

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Shy-Drager syndrome 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.

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.

Striatonigral degeneration is practically indistinguishable from Parkinson’s; OPCA is characterized by progressive ataxia (an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements) of the gait and arms and dysarthria (difficulty in articulating words); and Shy-Drager syndrome is characterized by Parkinsonism plus a much more pronounced failure of the autonomic nervous system. Striatonigral Degeneration Striatonigral degeneration is similar to Parkinson’s except tremor is much less common, and cerebellar ataxia (failure of muscle coordination) often develops over time. Pathologically, striatonigral degeneration is defined by abnormalities in the putamen and substantia nigra that are more extensive and localized than what is typical of Parkinson’s disease. Other portions of the basal ganglia (the part of the brain that is responsible for organization of motor movement) are also involved. Striatonigral degeneration is often indistinguishable from Parkinson’s except for the fact that it does not respond to medications that are used to treat the latter. MRI brain images sometimes reveal the severe degeneration of the affected structures and may provide additional diagnostic information.

When MSA was first identified in 1960 it was named "Shy-Drager Syndrome" after the two physicians who first described its symptoms. Now, Shy-Drager Syndrome is recognized as only one of three manifestations of multisystem atrophy. The other two are Striatonigral Degeneration and Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy (OPCA) . The three are lumped together as MSA because of their clinical overlap and neuroanatomical similiarities. Multisystem atrophy has three cardinal features: Parkinsonism (see Parkinson’s Autonomic failure (including orthostatic hypotension, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence or retention)

38. Shy-Drager Syndrome - General Practice Notebook medical information from General Practice Notebook. shydrager syndrome.The shy-drager syndrome is a form of multiple system atrophy http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/cache/-133824511.htm

Shy-Drager syndrome The Shy-Drager Syndrome is a form of multiple system atrophy in which autonomic failure - notably sexual and bladder dysfunction, postural hypotension and loss of sweating - is associated with parkinsonism. The pathogenesis involves a disruption of the cells in the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord and the sympathetic ganglia. Sometimes neural destruction is more widespread, resulting in, for example, cerebellar signs. Click here for more information...
