Dysautonomia is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which mediates both sympathetic and parasympathetic functions of the human body. Alcohol has been established to affect the autonomic function through liver injury and accumulation of vasodilators. Alcohol can induce peripheral neurological diseases as well. This case report describes a...

... showed no acute intracranial injury. A right cerebellar gliosis was evident along with prior right frontal ventriculostomy. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed mild gliosis in the lateral aspect of the right cerebellar hemisphere underlying a right occipital craniectomy and a mild right frontal gliosis along a prior shunt tract (Fig. ...

Introduction:
Alteration of autonomic function is the main pathophysiology of most types of syncope, including syncope due to orthostatic hypotension and neurally mediated syncope or reflex syncope. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in autonomic dysfunction assessed between each type of syncope and to evaluate the association...
Anti-IgLON5 disease shows various neurological manifestations, of which dysautonomia is one of the major symptoms and is rarely improved by immunotherapy. We herein report a patient with anti-IgLON5 disease who showed several autonomic failures, including vocal cord palsy for four months. The patient presented with cognitive impairments, bulbar sym...
Introduction: Parkinson's disease is an idiopathic, slow progressive neurodegenerative condition with the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compacta of the midbrain. Due to cardiovascular dysautonomia and impaired baroreflex function in Parkinson's disease, the development of orthostatic hypotension is most common, along with inc...
Aim of the study. To assess and compare autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction, especially cardiovascular dysautonomia, in Parkinson’s Disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and healthy controls.
Clinical rationale for the study. Assessment of ANS can be useful in differential diagnosis. Dysautonomia...
(1) Background: The differential diagnosis of essential tremor (ET) and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (TDPD) can be challenging. Only a few studies have investigated the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in ET. However, some of these suggested that heart rate variability (HRV) might be useful in the differential diagnosis. (2) Methods: Demograph...
