Abstract
An acute attack of variegate porphyria complicated by severe autonomic neuropathy. P. M. Stewart and W. J. Hensley, Aust. N.Z. J. Med., 1981, 11, pp. 82–83. A patient with familial variegate porphyria is described. She was admitted in an acute attack and developed severe dysautonomia manifested clinically by postural hypotension, tachycardia and constipation with severe abdominal pain. Whilst formal testing of autonomic function demonstrated the presence of marked abnormalities, peripheral nerve conduction studies were normalKeywords
