UNLABELLED: The scope of paediatric autonomic disorders is not well recognised, and paediatricians seem to be generally unaware of the complexity and diversity of their clinical manifestations. We report a 12-year-old boy presenting with hypertensive encephalopathy caused by autonomic dysreflexia. CONCLUSION: This observation emphasises the importance of the recognition of this rare autonomic disorder, which can have potentially life-threatening neurological complications.
