Abstract
|
|
|
|
Symptoms of cerebral ischemia, such as dizziness, visual disturbance, and fainting, and their relation to the head-up posture are important indicators in the diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension and autonomic failure. Moreover, the additional symptom of neck pain in the suboccipital and paracervical regions, i.e., coat-hanger pain, is often related to a postural change in these patients. However, discomfort caused by coat-hanger pain from orthostatic hypotension in multiple system atrophy has received little attention. We report the case of a woman who presented with coat-hanger pain due to orthostatic hypotension, which markedly impaired her routine activities.
