Abstract
|
|
|
Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a very rare autonomic disease associated with antibodies to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the autonomic ganglia of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous system. AAG is characterized by systemic autonomic failure including orthostatic hypotension, gastrointestinal dysmotility and tonic pupil. There is no established treatment for AAG, but immunomodulatory therapy could be effective.
