Abstract

Five cases of Shy-Drager Syndrome (SDS) are reported. All patients showed marked muscular wasting often with fasciculation and without sensory loss. Clinical, electromyographic and in one case, pathological findings in the spinal cord indicated a lesion at the level of the anterior born cell. An extensive review of the literature disclosed a significant number of cases of SDS displaying amyotrophy referable to a spinal lesions.
