[Nervous system changes in adrenal failure].
OBJECTIVE
To study nervous systems in chronic adrenal failure (CAF).


METHODS
262 patients with CAF were studied clinically, biochemically and electrophysiologically before and after treatment.


RESULTS
The patients were found to have syndromes of vegetovascular dystonia by hypotonic type, syncopal paroxysms, myastenic, minor strokes, dyscirculatory-dysmetabolic encephalopathy, polyneuropathy. A direct correlation was established between the severity and duration of adrenal failure (AF), lowering of adrenal cortex hormones, coefficient Na/K and clinical manifestations of the neurological syndromes. Adequate hormone replacing and symptomatic therapy promoted a regress of neurological disorders in most of the patients especially in mild and moderate AF.


CONCLUSIONS
Adequate therapy corrects neurological disturbances in patients with chronic NN.
