Treatment
Care and treatment Orthostatic hypotension in Shy-Drager syndrome is treatable, but there is not known effective treatment for the progression central nervous system degeneration. The general treatment course is aimed at controlling symptoms. [alzheimer-europe.org]
Fludrocortisone 0.5 mg a day was added to treatment with further improvement. This clinical effect was maintained throughout 12 months of follow up, during which the treatment was continued unchanged. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
The prognosis of Shy-Drager syndrome is very poor; patients are markedly disabled and have shorter survival. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis of Multiple System Atrophy (Shy Drager Syndrome) Prognosis is poor and on average patients will survive about 6 years after the inital presentation of MSA. [myvmc.com]
Prognosis The prognosis is more guarded in the multiple system atrophy patient than in pure autonomic failure. It is rare for a patient to survive 10 years. [mc.vanderbilt.edu]
Etiology
She developed signs of progressive autonomic failure suggesting a diagnosis of Shy-Drager syndrome, a rare degenerative neurologic condition of unknown etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Etiology of MSA is unknown but presence of cytoplasmic aggregates of α-synuclein, primarily in oligodendroglia, in combination with neurodegeneration in striatonigral and olivopontocerebellar structures are the pathological hallmark features. [orpha.net]
Epidemiology
For a discussion of epidemiology and pathology, please refer to multiple systemic atrophy (MSA). Clinical presentation The principle clinical finding in Shy-Drager syndrome is arterial orthostatic hypotension. [radiopaedia.org]
However, analytical epidemiological studies are hampered because the condition is relatively rare. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Summary Epidemiology Prevalence ranges from 1/50,000-1/20,000. MSA-parkinsonian type (MSA-p) predominates in the Western Hemisphere and MSA-cerebellar type (MSA-c) predominates in the Eastern Hemisphere. Genders are equally distributed. [orpha.net]
Pathophysiology
These findings suggest important pathophysiological roles of cerebellin and CRH in these cerebellar diseases. Such significant decreases were not found in neuropeptide Y and somatostatin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Postural hypotension: Mechanical maneuvers such as leg-crossing, squatting and bending forward can prevent episodes of postural hypotension as can waering external support garments. Sleeping with the head of the bed elevated. [myvmc.com]
This measure helps prevent the bladder from stretching and urinary tract infections from developing. Washing the hands, cleansing the area around the urethra, and using a sterile or clean catheter also help prevent infections. [msdmanuals.com]
