IntroductionMultiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by autonomic dysfunction with varying severity of cerebellar ataxia and parkinsonism. Based on predominant symptoms, either cerebellar ataxia or parkinsonism, MSA is classified into two su...

Among 276 MSA cases (193 in an autopsy cohort and 83 in a clinical cohort), LO-MSA accounted for 8% and 5%, respectively. The authors emphasised that clinical diagnosis of MSA may be difficult in elderly individuals due to the paucity of autonomic symptoms, whereas all LO-MSA patients ...
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disease characterized by autonomic failure and an early motor predominance of cerebellar symptoms such as ataxia (MSA-C) or a poor levodopa responsive parkinsonism (MSA-P)1. Pathologically, MSA can encompass predominant olivopontocerebell...
