Infobox Disease Name Pure autonomic failure Image Caption DiseasesDB 32777 ICD10 ICD9 ICDO OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj eMedicineTopic MeshID D001342 Pure autonomic failure , also known as Bradbury Eggleston syndrome or idiopathic orthostatic hypotension , is a form of dysautonomia that first occurs in middle age or later in life men are affected more often than women. It is one of three diseases classified as primary autonomic failure . Symptoms A degenerative disease of the autonomic nervous system , symptoms include dizziness and fainting caused by orthostatic hypotension , visual disturbances and neck pain. Chest pain, fatigue physical fatigue and sexual dysfunction are less common symptoms that may also occur. Symptoms are worse when standing sometimes one may relieve symptoms by laying down. Pathology The pathology of pure autonomic failure is not yet completely understood. However, a loss of cells in the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord has been documented, as has a loss of catecholamine uptake and catecholamine fluorescence in sympathetic postganglionic neurons . In general, levels of catecholamines in these patients are very low while lying down, and do not increase much upon standing. Treatment Pharmacological methods of treatment include fludrocortisone , midodrine , somatostatin , erythropoietin , and other vasopressor agents. However, often a patient with pure autonomic failure can mitigate his or her symptoms with far less costly means. Compressing the legs and lower body, through crossing the legs, squatting, or the use of compression stockings can help. Also, ingesting more water than usual can increase blood pressure and relieve some symptoms. Eponym It is named for Samuel Bradbury and Cary Eggleston . ref WhoNamedIt synd 2102 ref ref S.
