Abstract     Autonomic dysfunctions are caused by a variety of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. Regarding autonomic dysfunctions based on CNS diseases, deficiency syndromes through celllesions or pure dysfunctions without structural lesions, can be differentiated. Typical primary deficiency syndromes are the Multiple System. Atrophywith thesubtypes Shy Drager Syndrome, the Olive ponto-cerebellar Atrophy and the Striatonigral Degeneration as well as the M. Parkinson. Secondary deficiency syndromes are, for example, brain infarcts or synringomyelia. Side effects of drugs aretypical pure dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system. Results of the efferent autonomic denervation are pupillary disturbances, trophic disturbances, anhidrosis and vasodys regulations; consequences of the autonomic visceral denervation are cardioneuropathy, gastrointestinal disorders and urogenital disturbances. The most important etiology of autonomic peripheral neuropathy is the diabetes mellitus.
