kathy q1 pathology - katy2011 - ArchivalUser - 07-08-2011 Shy-Drager syndrome, with symptoms that include orthostatic hypotension, impotence, abnormal sweating, increased salivation, and pupil abnormalities, is classified as a Lewy body disease because in this disorder Lewy bodies can be found within a. α motorneurons in the spinal cord b. Neurons in the cerebral cortex c. Neurons in the dorsal vagal nuclei d. Neurons in the nigrostriatal system e. Sympathetic neurons in the spinal cord 0 - ArchivalUser - 07-08-2011 D. 0 - ArchivalUser - 07-08-2011 e,,, 99 - ArchivalUser - 07-08-2011 E ? because it seems like the Sympathetic NS is overstimulated.... 99 - ArchivalUser - 07-08-2011 sorry I meant its blocked!!! 0 - ArchivalUser - 07-09-2011 ans E The histologic presence of Lewy bodies can be seen in several disorders (Lewy body disorders) that differ in the location where the Lewy bodies are found. In classic Parkinson’s disease, Lewy bodies are found in the nigrostriatal system (producing extrapyramidal movement disorder). In Lewy body dementia, Lewy bodies are found in the cerebral cortex (producing dementia; this is the third most common cause of dementia). In Shy-Drager syndrome, Lewy bodies are found in sympathetic neurons in the spinal cord (causing autonomic dysfunction, including orthostatic hypotension, impotence, abnormal sweat and salivary gland secretion, and pupillary abnormalities). In Lewy body dysphagia, Lewy bodies are found in the dorsal vagal nuclei (producing dysphagia). |
