Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This is a report of a young boy with the unusual combination of autonomic dysfunction with locked-in syndrome following multiple shunt revisions for hydrocephalus. A review of the literature on autonomic dysfunction syndrome and the complex clinical picture of the combined syndromes in a pediatric patient are discussed. The marked effectiveness of treatment with carbidopa/levodopa over bromocriptine for both syndromes is noted. |
