Shy-Drager Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Shy-Drager syndrome is a historical name for a form of multiple system atrophy, a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects the involuntary control of body functions and, in addition, movement.
Characteristic features: among its manifestations are drops in blood pressure upon standing, disturbances of balance and gait, and changes in autonomic functions such as the regulation of blood pressure or the bladder.
Why it originates: it is due to a degenerative process of certain areas of the nervous system, whose exact mechanism is still under study.
Suggested care: given the component of pressure and circulatory system regulation, the cardiologist may collaborate in follow-up, and the vascular surgeon takes part when vessel problems are associated; the approach is usually multidisciplinary. If you or a family member have persistent symptoms of this kind, it is worth discussing it with a professional for a careful evaluation.
