Abstract

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) dysfunctions may be localized or not, and determine either states of hypo or hyperactivity. This article reviews the structure and function of ANS, methods of evaluation, the main clinical features of its dysfunctions, as well as the most common causes involved and current therapeutic possibilities. Localized dysfunctions and states of hyperactivity are not considered.
