Acute dysautonomia and polyneuropathy.

R W Taubner, V Salanova

    Archives of Neurology
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acute dysautonomia, characterized by autonomic nervous system dysfunction, was linked to inflammatory polyneuropathies. This case study reveals inflammatory infiltrates within autonomic nerves, suggesting a novel connection.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Dysautonomia involves autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
    • Inflammatory polyneuropathies are a group of neurological disorders.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with acute dysautonomia, including vomiting, constipation, dry mouth, and orthostatic hypotension.
    • A severe polyneuropathy and atonic bladder developed one month later.
    • Bowel wall biopsy revealed inflammatory infiltrates in autonomic nerves.

    Findings:

    • The presence of lymphocytes and plasma cells within autonomic nerves was identified.
    • This is the first documented instance of inflammatory infiltrates in autonomic nerves in acute dysautonomia.

    Implications:

    • Suggests a potential relationship between acute dysautonomia and inflammatory polyneuropathies.
    • Highlights the role of neuroinflammation in autonomic dysfunction.
    • May inform future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for autonomic disorders.
