Abstract |
Multiple system atrophy is a disabling neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by autonomic dysfunctions associated with abnormal movement phenomena, such as Parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia. An autonomic dysfunction is a feature of synucleinopathies associated with Parkinson’s disease, Dementia with Lewy bodies, and pure autonomic failure, hence differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy is often challenging. In this study, dysautonomic manifestations frequently observed in multiple system atrophy, and their anatomical correlates with pathophysiology are described. |
