title: [Case of orthostatic arterial hypotension with neurologic manifestations (Shy-Drager syndrome)].
abstract: The authors report a case of idiopathic orthostatic arterial hypotension with neurological manifestations, rarely diagnosed in this country. The clinical manifestations corresponded to those of Shy-Drager syndrome, with an akinetic-hypertonic syndrome, pyramidal signs, sphincter disturbances, sexual potency loss and neurogenic muscle atrophy. Attention is called to the recent results of biochemical investigations of the blood in this syndrome, and among them to the blood level of noradrenaline which may be useful in the diagnosis.
