Laryngeal electromyography in multiple system atrophy with autonomic failure.
In five patients with multiple system atrophy, electromyographic studies using a new surface electrode technique, showed unequivocal evidence of denervation of the posterior crico-arytenoid muscle, and in three of them, of the interarytenoid muscle or crico-pharyngeal sphincter. By comparison, only minor electromyographic abnormalities were found in one-third of patients with other extra-pyrami...
متن کاملCerebral vasomotor reactivity in Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and pure autonomic failure.
Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and pure autonomic failure (PAF) are neurodegenerative disorders frequently associated with orthostatic hypotension and syncope, though with different underlying mechanisms. Cerebral hemodynamic responses in these three neurodegenerative diseases are still incompletely studied and it is possible that they would be differentially affected. ...
متن کاملProgression and prognosis in pure autonomic failure (PAF): comparison with multiple system atrophy.
OBJECTIVE To clarify the progression of autonomic symptoms and functional deterioration in pure autonomic failure (PAF), particularly in comparison with multiple system atrophy (MSA). METHODS The investigation involved eight patients with PAF (M/F = 7/1; mean age at onset, 57 years) and 22 with probable MSA matched for age at onset (M/F = 14/8; onset 56 years). Subjects were followed up for n...
متن کاملUrethro-vesical dysfunction in progressive autonomic failure with multiple system atrophy.
Fourteen patients with progressive autonomic failure and multiple system atrophy have been investigated by urodynamic, electromyographic and neurohistochemical means and the results compared with a series of age-matched controls. Three fundamental abnormalities of lower urinary tract function have been identified: (1) Involuntary detrusor contractions in response to bladder filling. It is sugge...
متن کاملEffect of posture on blood and intraocular pressures in multiple system atrophy, pure autonomic failure, and baroreflex failure.
BACKGROUND Intraocular pressure (IOP) may be partially under systemic vascular control. This study examined whether a correlation exists between blood and intraocular pressures in patients with autonomic dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS Eleven patients with 3 types of confirmed autonomic dysfunction (multiple system atrophy, pure autonomic failure, and baroreflex failure) were compared with a...
