  • Title: Autonomic dysfunction in peripheral nerve disorders.
    Author: McLeod JG.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurol Neurosurg; 1992 Aug; 5(4):476-81. PubMed ID: 1325223.
    Abstract:
    The autonomic nervous system is affected by most conditions that cause peripheral neuropathy. Autonomic dysfunction may be clinically significant in some conditions such as diabetes, amyloidosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome and porphyria, but in many the autonomic disturbances are of only minor clinical importance. Clinical tests of both sympathetic and parasympathetic function are necessary to establish the diagnosis.
