| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From the point of view of the autonomic neuropathy, at least three subgroups have been proposed on the basis of the concomitance or absence of sensory or motor dysfunctions: 1. pure autonomic neuropathy, 2. autonomic neuropathy with sensory impairment, and 3. autonomic neuropathy with sensory and motor impairment. Some of the patients with pure autonomic neuropathy had slow progression mimicking neurodegenerative diseases. Pathological findings indicated neuronopathy of the autonomic ganglia in patients with pure autonomic neuropathy, while both autonomic and sensory ganglia were affected in patients with sensory impairment. Intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange, or steroids alone or in combination were suggested to be effective even in cases with long-standing autonomic neuropathy.
