Abstract
Although individual case reports had already appeared, it remained for Riley in 1949 to recognize the common clinical features of these and his own patients as a definite disease entity.
This is a review of that disease—the Riley-Day syndrome, or familial dysau tonomia. This report includes a summary of the clinical pattern, laboratory aids to diagnosis, differential diagnosis, current therapy and prognosis.
