Acute pandysautonomia with Somatic Nerve Involvement

Abstract
|
|
|
Acute panautonomic neuropathy characterized by selective involvement of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves with complete or rilative sparing of somatic motor and sensory functions was first described by Young et al. in 1969. We experienced
acute
pandusautonomia with peripheral neuropathy. The serial electrophysiologic studies revealed progressive peripheral axonal polyneuropathy. Autonomic function test suggested dysautonomia of selective postganglionic lesion in 1case and
pandysautonomia
in 3
cases. Our four cases were Acute panautonomic neuropathies which simultaneously developed sensorimotor polyneuropathy. All Laps were normal except elevated CSF protein without pleofytosis. Recovery was poor in general, but 34-years-old female
patient
was markedly improved after plasmapheresis Therefore we recommend immunologic treatment such as plasmapheresis or pulse therapy in early stage of progressive pandysautonomia.
