Sudomotor deficits in Parkinson's disease with special reference to motor subtypes
2023, Parkinsonism and Related DisordersAcute Autonomic Neuropathy as a Rare Cause of Severe Arterial Hypertension in a Child
2021, International Journal of Pediatrics and Adolescent MedicineCitation Excerpt :It is still unclear if autonomic dysfunction manifested by sustained arterial hypertension, tachycardia, and neuropathic pain in the extremities is a result of hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system or rather the inactivation of its parasympathetic counterpart. However, the first alternative seems to be more probable, particularly considering elevated levels of plasma and urine noradrenaline (the most common neurotransmitter in sympathetic fibers), the presence of typical sympathetic pain and good reaction for pharmacological sympathetic blockade [10]. Literature and knowledge about autonomic disorders in children, particularly cases with acute presentation, are extremely limited [11,12].
Other forms of gastroparesis: Postsurgical, parkinson, other neurologic diseases, connective tissue disorders
2015, Gastroenterology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Autonomic dysfunction is commonly detectable in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) but is usually of minor clinical importance.84 Delayed gastric emptying, gastroparesis, constipation, diarrhea, and fecal incontinence have all been described in GBS.85 The gastrointestinal tract has a role in the pathogenesis of GBS; 15% to 40% of cases of GBS in the West have followed infection with Campylobacter jejuni.86
Fabry's disease
2014, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :With increasing age and thus with increasing disease burden, small nerve fiber damage can become so extensive that their function is completely lost and pain may abate [105], thus in the absence of pain, it is important to inquire about history of acroparesthesia in childhood. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) function is subserved by small myelinated preganglionic B-fibers and small unmyelinated postganglionic C fibers [106]. Fabry's disease causes relatively selective damage to Aδ fibers, thus preserving some of the autonomic functions [107].
Small fiber neuropathy in Fabry disease
2012, Molecular Genetics and MetabolismCitation Excerpt :Observations in the AMC cohort are in line with previous findings; there was a low prevalence of orthostatic intolerance and male sexual dysfunction, normal cardiovascular autonomic control in most patients, and a low resting heart rate making it unlikely that Fabry patients suffer from severe autonomic neuropathy. This seemingly contradiction may be explained by the difference between nerve fiber types involved in the autonomic control of organs and the nerve fiber type affected by Fabry disease; preganglionic autonomic fibers consist of small myelinated B-fibers and postganglionic autonomic fibers are small unmyelinated C-fibers [41], whereas Fabry disease causes relatively selective damage to Aδ-fibers [15–21]. Possibly, the selective damage to ‘non-autonomic’ Aδ-fibers in Fabry disease leads to the preservation of some of the autonomic functions in Fabry disease.
