摘要: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic and fatal α-synuclein-linked oligodendrogliopathy manifesting with progressive autonomic failure, poorly levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, in any combination. Here we review key aspects of MSA integrating important insights from rapidly emerging fields such as genetics, diagnostic work-up including imaging, translational therapies aimed at disease modification.
