Shy-Drager syndrome is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects your brain and other parts of your central nervous system. It causes a drop in blood pressure when standing up, bladder dysfunction and other Parkinson's-like symptoms, such as slowness of movement, muscle rigidity and poor balance. Shy-Drager syndrome develops in adulthood, beginning at an average age of 50 years, and is gradually progressive and usually fatal. A rare condition, Shy-Drager syndrome occurs about two to three times more frequently in men. Shy-Drager syndrome is named after two researchers who first described it in 1960. It's commonly referred to as multiple system atrophy (MSA). http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/shy-drager-syndrome/DS00989/DSECTION=1
