[Acute and subacute autonomic neuropathy]

Acute and subacute autonomic neuropathies are rarely observed disease syndromes. Their symptoms result from the involvement of autonomic cholinergic fibres (cholinergic dys-autonomy) as well as cholinergic and noradrenergic ones (pan-dys-autonomy). The paper presents symptoms of both forms of the disease and methods of their diagnostics. Up-to-date trials of the treatment of orthostatic hypotonia a leading symptom of pan-dys-autonomy, have also been discussed.
