62. Autonomic Disturbances And PD Such a combination of symptoms is rare in patients with classic Parkinson’s diseasebut characterizes the shydrager syndrome (or multisystem atrophy as it http://www.parkinson.org/autonomic.htm

VOLUME XXI - ISSUE 2/ Spring 2000 Autonomic Disturbances and Parkinson’s Disease By Michael J. Aminoff, M.D., FRCP, Professor of Neurology, University of California Medical Center, San Francisco, a National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence A t times of anger, fear, or stress, the heart beats harder and faster and the blood pressure increases, so that one is physically better able to cope with the responsible circumstances. It is the autonomic nervous system that enables these changes to occur. The autonomic nervous system is a part of the nervous system that regulates certain body functions not normally under voluntary control, such as the ability to sweat in the heat and thus to remain cool. It controls the blood flow to different parts of the body, so that more blood goes to the muscles at times of physical activity, to the intestines after a meal (to increase the ab sorption of food), and to the skin in hot weather (to facilitate heat loss from the body). Among its many actions, it regulates the heart rate and blood pressure; blood flow to different parts of the body; breathing and respiratory function; secretion of saliva; the passage of food in the gastrointestinal tract; sweating; the size of the pupils of the eyes (which get bigger with fear or excitement); and bladder, bowel, and sexual function. In his original description of the disease that now bears his name, James Parkinson included several symptoms of abnormal autonomic function. Since then, parkinsonian patients have been reported to have abnormalities of sweating, salivation, bladder and bowel function. These disturbances are important to recognize because they may be disabling or distressing, may respond to specific treatment, may be caused by certain medication, or may suggest that the patient does not have classic Parkinson’s disease but one of the atypical forms of parkinsonism.

Multiple System Atrophy In 1960, two researchers, Dr. Milton Shy at the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Glen Drager at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, described a common set of neurological manifestations associated with autonomic failure. 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

March 31, 2003 Johnny Cash: I Was Misdiagnosed by Emily Farache Oct 26, 2000, 10:00 AM PT Memo to all maladies: Don't mess with the Man in Black. Johnny Cash , the tough-as-nails musical legend, says he's not struggling with the degenerative neurological disorder Shy-Drager Syndrome as previously thought, nor is he battling Parkinson's disease. Cash tells Nashville's Tennessean that he's healthier than he was a year ago, when he succumbed to a bout of double pneumonia and was hospitalized for several days. a d v e r t i s e m e n t The iconic figure, known for his gritty, slice-of-the-dark-side songs like "Folsom Prison Blues," "Ring of Fire" and "I Walk the Line," says when he announced in 1997 that he had Shy-Drager's, he was misdiagnosed "My doctor told me in November that if I'd had it, I'd be dead by now," Cash tells the newspaper. This would mark the second time Cash has been misdiagnosed. When he made the announcement in '97 that he was suffering from a neurological condition, he originally announced he was suffering from Parkinson's, an incurable neurological disorder with similar symptoms of blackouts, tremors and stiff muscles. At the time, Cash had appeared wobbly on stage and was easily fatigued. Since then, Cash, 68, nearly died of pneumonia in 1998 and quit touring because of various health problems. But Cash now says doctors report he is getting better and have also ruled out Parkinson's as the source of his symptoms.

Causes and Risks 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. Ency. home

Medical Services Treatment of Multiple System Atrophy at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville (Synonyms: Shy-Drager syndrome) According to the American Autonomic Society, Multiple System Atrophy (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 Parkinsonian and cerebellar features commonly occur in combination. However, certain features may predominate. The condition is evaluated and treated in Mayo Clinic's Movement Disorders Program The term Shy-Drager syndrome, named after the two physicians who first described the neurologic symptoms, is still used to refer to Multiple System Atrophy. However, Shy-Drager more specifically describes an MSA whose symptoms involve a failure of the autonomic nervous system. Those symptoms include orthostatic hypotension, an abnormal drop in blood pressure when a person sits or stands that causes lightheadness and blackouts, as well as tiredness, blurred vision, lack of muscle coordination and pain in the back of the neck. Other symptoms of MSA are the tremors and muscle rigidity associated with Parkinson's disease and decreased mobility and motor function, causing balance problems or a tendency to fall.

The disorder is characterized by excessive dropping in blood pressure which can cause dizziness or momentary blackouts upon standing or sitting up. Shy-Drager Syndrome may be difficult to diagnose or may be misdiagnosed in the early stages because it may take years for some key symptoms to reveal themselves.

What is Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)? I can only describe MSA as a brutal illness. It is rare and very difficult to diagnose. It is not known what causes the illness and there is no cure at this point in time. Very few doctors will actually say for certain that a person has MSA because the only way right now to know for sure that someone had MSA is to do an autopsy. Even if the symptoms all match exactly I don’t think any doctor would say definitely. The best they can do is say "probably". For example, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is very similar to MSA as is Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration (CBGD) and Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). When I first started researching MSA across the Internet, I found that there were differing schools of thought as to what MSA is. For me, an excellent description of MSA has been written by Timothy C. Hain, MD Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, USA. He is without doubt an authority on MSA and you can find him at: http://www.neuro.nwu.edu/meded/MOVEMENT/msa.html

Shy Drager Syndrome This article submitted by on 1/31/97. Author's Email: bingermm@concentric.net My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1987. Since then, the diagnosis has been changed to mutliple systems atrophy or shy drager syndrome because of his increasing orthostatic hypotension. He has an increased incidence of falls, resulting in broken bones, because of his blackouts when his blood pressure falls. Is it usual for someone to have a 10-year duration of this serious disease? Many times, he seems almost normal, except for extreme slowness of gait. He has very little tremor. When he is "normal", I sometimes wonder if the diagnosis is correct. I was under the impression that 10 years is a long time for such a disease to remain as relatively mild as his. He is not bed ridden and tries to walk at least a mile a day. His hands are quite stiff, so he can't do intricate manual tasks, but his mind and sense of humor are intact. Please let me know what I can expect.
