Shy-Drager syndrome is the term formerly used for what is now considered a clinical variant of Multiple system atrophy.
The syndrome was named after Dr Milton Shy and Dr Glenn Drager, who identified this syndrome in 1960.[1][2]
The American Autonomic Society and the American Academy of Neurology deprecated Shy-Drager syndrome as a disease entity in 1996, and existing cases were redefined as multiple system atrophy with autonomic phenomena.[3] The name “Shy-Drager syndrome” is still used occasionally for multiple system atrophy when the primary symptoms are autonomic failure.
