  • Title: Autonomic dysfunction in central nervous system disorders.
    Author: Aminoff MJ.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurol Neurosurg; 1992 Aug; 5(4):482-6. PubMed ID: 1515688.
    Abstract:
    Dysautonomic symptoms are associated with many disorders of the central nervous system, in some of which the autonomic dysfunction is particularly conspicuous or the major cause of disability. New neuroimaging procedures and microneurographic techniques have helped to clarify the underlying pathophysiology and to distinguish or, classify disorders that are clinically similar. Recent studies also suggest that the autonomic nervous system is involved more frequently or extensively than previously thought in certain neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and have helped to define the nature of its involvement in other disorders.
