Aug 2, 2024 · Multiple system atrophy (MSA) symptoms affect many parts of the body. Symptoms start in adulthood, usually in the 50s or 60s. There are two types of MSA: parkinsonian and cerebellar. The type depends on the symptoms a person has when diagnosed. Parkinsonian type. This is the most common type of MSA.

Introduction and background. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a part of the family of α-synucleinopathies. The disease is rapidly progressive and has two main types: multiple system atrophy parkinsonian type (MSA-P) and multiple system atrophy cerebellar type (MSA-C) .

Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is defined as a sporadic, fatal, progressive, neurodegenerative (specifically a synucleinopathy) adult-onset disorder. It is the second most common neurodegenerative movement disorder with an average annual incidence rate of 3 per 100000 person-years after Parkinson’s disease (PD) [1] .

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) causes the progressive loss of nerve cells in the brain (a neurodegenerative disease).

There are two types of multiple system atrophy (MSA), based on which symptoms occur first: MSA-C is characterized by loss of coordination and difficulty maintaining balance, which indicates cerebellar dysfunction (indicated by the C).

Multiple system atrophy is a progressive brain disorder that affects movement and balance and disrupts the function of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls body functions that are mostly involuntary, such as regulation of blood pressure.

Background: High-quality incidence and prevalence studies are important for health-care planning and epidemiological research. To our knowledge, there are no existing systematic reviews summarising the current evidence on both the incidence and …

Objective: To review a case of a patient diagnosed with both NPH and MSA. Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that presents with autonomic failure, parkinsonism and cerebellar symptoms [1] .
