    AbstractIdiopathic orthostatic hypotension (formerly known as Shy-Drager syndrome) is a multiple system atrophy, which is characterized by autonomic dysregulation. Providing perioperative hemodynamic stability during narcosis is therefore a particular challenge. The effects of general anesthesia on systemic vascular resistance and cardiac output in a patient with idiopathic orthostatic hypotension undergoing retropubic prostatectomy will be reported. In the case presented perioperative hemodynamic stability was achieved by aggressive volume therapy guided by global end-diastolic volume measurement and low-dose catecholamine therapy.
