 | | Progression and prognosis in multiple system atrophy: An analysis of 230 Japanese patients. | | | Furthermore, many patients with MSA when chronically treated with levodopa develop involuntary movements (dyskinesia), particularly involving the jaw and lower face area, and worsening of low blood pressure. | | | In contrast to PD, there is little evidence that MSA is a genetic disorder as MSA occurs sporadically, without any family history. |

| | Up to 1/3 of patients with MSA, however, will show a moderate to good response with levodopa therapy, but this response is generally short-lived (lasting only 1 to 2 years). | | | Anticholinergics and amantadine may provide some symptomatic relief, but their use is limited by the development of orthostatic hypotension in many patients. | | | Otherwise, there is no specific therapy for MSA. |

| | The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are centrally impaired in MSA, whereas the involvement is peripheral in PAF. | | | However, drug therapy of orthostatic hypotension is limited by supine hypertension, which affects about 60% of patients with MSA. | | | Patients with MSA have a poor response to levodopa. |

| | Multiple System Atrophy |
| | We are looking for more information that would be helpful for her and her family to understand and deal with her condition. | | | Multiple system atrophy is a generic term used to describe a group of degenerative disorders of the brain that variably affect parts of the brain controlling coordination, movement, and so called autonomic functions--- those involving regulation of blood pressure, digestion/urination/defacation, sweating etc.--- so called visceral functions. | | | Unfortunately, the disease is typically terminal and generally untreatable, although different medications may be tried to give symptomatic relief from individual problems/symptoms related to malfunctioning of each of the affected symptoms. |

| | Multiple system atrophy |
| | Depending on the predominance of parkinsonian (P) or cerebellar (C) symptomes, MSA has been subdivided into MSA-P and MSA-C. Typically the parkinsonian symptoms show an insufficient response to levodopa therapy. | | | Pathognomonic glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCI), which contain alpha-synuclein, are present in brains of MSA patients. | | | The disease belongs to the so-called alpha-synucleinopathies, a group of diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson disease and Hallervorden-Spatz-disease that are characterized by aggregation of alpha-synuclein in affected brain regions. |

| | Multiple system atrophy |
| | Multiple system atrophy (MSA) with postural hypotension, also called Shy-Drager syndrome, is a progressive disorder of the central and sympathetic nervous systems. | | | In all three forms of MSA, the patient can have orthostatic hypotension. | | | MSA has been classified clinically into three types, olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA), which primarily affects balance, coordination, and speech; a parkinsonian form (striatonigral degeneration), which can resemble Parkinson's disease because of slow movement and stiff muscles; and a mixed cerebellar and parkinsonian form. |

| | Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare progressive neurological disorder characterized by a varying combination of symptoms. | | | The term multiple system atrophy has generated significant controversy and confusion in the medical literature. | | | Additionally, there is a hereditary form of olivopontocerebellar atrophy that is not part of the multiple system atrophy spectrum. |
