Acute pandysautonomia is a rare disorder characterized by autonomic failure affecting sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric functions. We present a case of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) with severe pandysautonomia in a young, otherwise healthy, female who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy, which progressively worsened and subsequently developed bladder dysfunction and orthostatic hypotension. We discuss the challenges with diagnostic workup as well as the challenges we encountered as part of the management.

Background: COVID-19 vaccine-associated peripheral and central neuroimmunological disorders have been well described. We present the case of a 56 year old male who developed α3-ganglionic AChR antibody positive Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy (AAG) after completion of a two-dose course of mRNA (Comirnaty) vaccination for COVID19.
Results: A previously hypertensive 56 year old male presented with the subacute onset of severe constipation, urinary retention, erectile dysfunction, sudomotor failure, sicca symptoms, non-reactive pupils and severe orthostatic hypotension shortly after receiving the second dose of an mRNA vaccine against COVID19.

Article Synopsis
- - Dysautonomia is a collection of conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system, with various types including POTS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (nOH), and more; however, vasovagal syndromes, which are generally mild, are not covered in this article.
- - Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) indicates a dysfunction in the cardiovascular autonomic nervous system, often linked to serious underlying conditions like diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, and its presence typically leads to worse health outcomes.
- - Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) is a significant indicator of dysautonomia severity, necessitating careful differentiation from other types of hypotension; managing medication in

We present the case of a 16-year-old girl who presented with severe refractory orthostatic hypotension secondary to pandysautonomia. Initially, she was treated for Guillain-Barré syndrome given clinical symptoms and increased protein on cerebrospinal fluid, but the severity of symptoms and lack of response to intravenous immunoglobulin prompted further evaluation for an autoimmune etiology. She was ultimately diagnosed with paraneoplastic neuropathy secondary to Hodgkin lymphoma.

A 63-year-old male with a previous infection was admitted to our hospital because of acute pancreatitis. Although he had no history of diabetes mellitus, laboratory examinations revealed marked hyperglycemia on admission, and intensive insulin treatment was required. After 2 weeks, he developed severe pandysautonomia and sensory impairment, and eventually died from colonic perforation caused by paralytic ileus at 1 year after onset.
