title: [The clinical and computed tomographic criteria of the diagnosis of multiple systemic cerebral atrophy with progressive autonomic insufficiency (the Shy-Drager syndrome)].
abstract: Based on clinical and CT examination of 3 patients with Shy-Drager syndrome and the reported data, differential diagnosis of the given diseases is under discussion. Shy-Drager syndrome is characterized by CT signs of progressive atrophy of the pons and cerebellum with no essential changes in the supratentorial brain structures. The authors support a proposal to use the term "multiple systemic atrophy" for designation of the disease entity that includes both Shy-Drager syndrome and sporadic patterns of olivopontocerebellar and strionigral degenerations in which the disease debuts by motor disorders of the extrapyramidal and cerebellar nature rather than by vegetative disturbances.
