Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms that affect both the autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that controls involuntary action such as blood pressure or digestion) and movement.aTscan can assess the dopamine transporter in a part of the brain called the striatum and can help physicians determine if the condition is caused by a dopamine system disorder; however this test cannot differentiate between MSA and Parkinsonâs disease.
MSA often presents with some of the same symptoms as Parkinson's disease. However, MSA patients generally show minimal if any response to the dopamine medications used for Parkinson's. MSA is distinct from the more common syndrome multisystem proteinopathy.he cause of MSA is not conclusively known and no specific risk factors have been identified, although research indicates that a prion form of the alpha-synuclein protein may be the cause of the disease. Around 55% of cases occur in men, with typical age of onset in the late 50s to early 60s.
