1. The aim of this mini-review was to describe an underrecognized but important aspect of the basal ganglia diseases, the dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that patients suffer owing to the degenerative process affecting these structures, mainly Parkinson's disease. 2. We analyze the most prevalent autonomic abnormalities in these patients from an experimental and clinical point of view.
