MeSH Heading: Autonomic Dysreflexia
Tree Number(s): C10.177.090; C10.900.850.250
Unique ID: D020211
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020211
Scope Note: A syndrome associated with damage to the spinal cord above the mid thoracic level (see SPINAL CORD INJURIES) characterized by a marked increase in the sympathetic response to minor stimuli such as bladder or rectal distention. Manifestations include HYPERTENSION; TACHYCARDIA (or reflex bradycardia); FEVER; FLUSHING; and HYPERHIDROSIS. Extreme hypertension may be associated with a STROKE. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp538 and 1232; J Spinal Cord Med 1997;20(3):355-60)
