MeSH Heading: Shy-Drager Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C10.177.575.550.750; C10.228.140.079.612.700; C10.228.662.550.700; C14.907.514.741
Unique ID: D012791
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012791
Scope Note: A progressive neurodegenerative condition of the central and autonomic nervous systems characterized by atrophy of the preganglionic lateral horn neurons of the thoracic spinal cord. This disease is generally considered a clinical variant of MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY. Affected individuals present in the fifth or sixth decade with ORTHOSTASIS and bladder dysfunction; and later develop FECAL INCONTINENCE; anhidrosis; ATAXIA; IMPOTENCE; and alterations of tone suggestive of basal ganglia dysfunction. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p536)
