What Did Shy and Drager Really Describe?

Niall P. Quinn, MD, FRCP; Gregor Wenning, MD; C. David Marsden, DSc, FRS

Arch Neurol. 1995;52(7):656-657.

Abstract
In 1960, Milton Shy and Glenn Drager¹ described a neurological syndrome associated with orthostatic hypotension. Since that time, the term Shy-Drager syndrome has been widely used and even more widely abused. We, therefore, feel that a reexamination of both the term and of the original article is appropriate.
