Clinical and neuropathological data from two autopsy cases of amyloidosis with involvement of the autonomic nervous system are presented. In the case of primary amyloidosis the changes in the autonomic nervous system were moderate, causing no symptoms, whereas the patient with secondary amyloidosis had severe symptoms most probably caused by severe destruction of the autonomic nervous system secondary to amyloid deposits.
