Brainstem and Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction: A Neurosurgical Point of View
TRENDS IN RECONSTRUCTIVE NEUROSURGERY: NEUROREHABILITATION, RESTORATION AND RECONSTRUCTION(2017)
Abstract
Central autonomic control nuclei and pathways are mainly integrated within the brainstem, especially in the medulla oblongata. Lesions within these structures can lead to central dysautonomia. Central autonomic control structures can be damaged by tumors, during surgery, or by other neurosurgical pathologies. These may elicit clinical or subclinical autonomic complications that can constitute a serious clinical problem. The authors present a broad review of the central autonomic nervous system, its possible dysfunctions, and the relation between neurosurgery and this "not-well-known system".Preliminary results of an autonomic study of brainstem lesions that is currently being carried out by the authors are also shown.
