Presented in a modified and abbreviated form in this chapter, that classification serves to organize and provide an overview of autonomic disorders. It is organized by anatomical systems and levels, although some syndromes and disorders do not fit neatly into this organization and therefore are assigned their own category. This classification quickly shows how abundant and interspersed autonomic dysfunction is among various categories of neurologic disease. Therefore, the role of this chapter is not to describe every disorder that can be associated with autonomic dysfunction. Rather, the chapter focuses on disorders with autonomic dysfunction as a predominant or important feature and thereby covers what are generally referred to as autonomic disorders.","PeriodicalId":77089,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in neurology and neurosurgery","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61647565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principal focus is on procedures and diagnostic techniques. It has been suggested that the classic clinical syndromes are rare and that interventional protocols based on them are likely to be inadequate. New diagnostic techniques have revolutionized the evaluation of patients: magnetic resonance imaging is now the standard whereas myelography use is being steadily reduced. It is clear that the outcome of spinal surgery for herniated disk, in expert hands, is excellent. Nevertheless, there is an emphasis on minimally invasive and percutaneous techniques to try to avoid major surgery, which has been the standard. The natural history of these problems is still understood incompletely. Long-term follow-ups are generally not available and the value of nearly every form of conservative care remains unproven.</p>","PeriodicalId":77089,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in neurology and neurosurgery","volume":"6 4","pages":"576-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19384890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
