Summary

Multiple adrenal ganglioneuromas caused autonomic dysfunction symptoms, including orthostatic hypotension. Comprehensive autonomic function testing is crucial to identify secondary causes of such symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neurology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Autonomic dysfunction presents with varied symptoms, often mimicking primary neurological disorders.
  • Ganglioneuromas are rare neuroblastic tumors typically found in the sympathetic nervous system.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old male presented with sexual dysfunction, micturitional issues, and severe orthostatic hypotension.
  • Initial diagnosis was primary autonomic failure, but autonomic function tests revealed normal pupillary and cardiovascular reflexes.

Findings:

  • Abdominal CT revealed multiple masses in the adrenal glands and paravertebral spaces.
  • Cytologic examination confirmed the presence of adrenal ganglioneuromas.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation for secondary causes of autonomic dysfunction.
  • Comprehensive autonomic function assessment is vital to avoid misdiagnosis of primary autonomic failure.
