Dysautonomia Causing Severe Orthostatic Hypotension: An Important, Early Finding in Neurodegenerative Disorders.

Orthostatic hypotension is common and dangerous; it has neurogenic and nonneurogenic causes. We present the case of a 40-year-old man with severe neurogenic hypotension, caused by young-onset multiple system atrophy. In patients presenting with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, underlying neurodegenerative diseases should always be considered. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
