Autonomic dysfunction in diphtheritic neuropathy.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic function and somatic nerve conduction were assessed in ten patients with diphtheritic neuropathy and 28 controls. None of the patients had postural hypotension. The Valsalva ratio was abnormal in two patients who also had myocarditis, but it was normal in five cases. Cardiac vagal dysfunction was found in five patients. One case showed cardiac parasympathetic den...
متن کاملAmyloid light-chain amyloidosis, myeloma and autonomic neuropathy
Systemic amyloidosis secondary to myeloma is an uncommon condition that often has an insidious onset and poses as a diagnostic challenge due to the lack of typical presenting symptoms and signs. Prompt diagnosis of amyloidosis and appropriate referral have the potential to improve outcome for these patients.

متن کاملHereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy: A case report
A 24-year old female patient with the history of pressure ulcers in distal extremities resulted in severe deformity will be reported. Her disease started when she was 9 years old and a similar history was found in her brother. In physical examination, pain and temperature sensations were impaired in distal extremities. Nerve conduction velocity showed impaired sensory and normal motor responses...
متن کاملAssociation Between Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Methods Indices of LV structure and function were obtained by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). CAN was assessed by cardiovascular reflex testing (R-R response to paced breathing, Valsalva ratio, and blood pressure response to standing). Analyses were performed in 966 DCCT/EDIC participants with valid CMRI and CAN data (mean age 51 years, 52% men, mean diabetes duration 29 years, and m...
متن کاملBladder dysfunction in distal autonomic neuropathy of acute onset.
A patient with cholinergic dysautonomia and a patient with pandysautonomia have each been investigated for disturbances of bladder and urethral function. Both patients suffered from an inability to develop or sustain a detrusor contraction, while retaining normal bladder sensation. Biopsy specimens of bladder muscle stained for acetylcholinesterase revealed a significant reduction in cholinergi...
