Multiple System Atrophy: phenotypic spectrum approach coupled with brain FDG PET
Objective: This study attempts to identify different phenotypes of patients with MSA and to describe corresponding brain 18-FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET) patterns. Background: In…Automated Quantitative MRI Biomarkers in Differentiation of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Multiple System Atrophy from Parkinson Disease
Objective: To explore the relative merits of automated MRI-based volumetric measures over visual assessment in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD), parkinsonian variant of…Insular atrophy as a marker of depression in Multiple System Atrophy: A voxel-based morphometry study
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the structural correlates of depressive symptoms in MSA patients. Background: Depression is highly prevalent among patients…Probable MSA presenting initially with urinary retention
Objective: We describe 6 cases of probable MSA presenting with urinary retention/incomplete bladder emptying. Background: MSA is a progressive neurodegenerative adult-onset disease whose clinical features…Spatial correlation and segregation of multimodal MRI abnormalities in multiple system atrophy
Objective: This study aimed to quantify spatial patterns of multimodal MRI abnormalities in basal ganglia (BG) and brainstem-cerebellar (Stem-CB) regions and define structural MRI findings…Mineralization pattern of the deep gray matter by susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to differentiate Parkinsonian disorders
Objective: To study mineralization pattern of the deep gray matter by susceptibility-weighted (SWI) magnetic resonance imaging to differentiate Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonian disorders like…Structural brain changes in patients with Multi System Atrophy: A VBM and DTI based study.
Objective: To evaluate the grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) changes in patients with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) using MRI. Background: MSA is a…Putaminal Diffusion Imaging for the Differential Diagnosis of the Parkinsonian Variant of Multiple System Atrophy from Parkinson’s Disease: Impact of Segmentation Accuracy
Objective: To evaluate different approaches of segmentation of the putamen in order to discriminate PD from MSA-P based on putaminal diffusion imaging. Background: Differences in prognosis…The relationship between blood pressure, sex and survival in multiple system atrophy
Objective: To investigate the effect of BP parameters on survival in MSA patients by MSA type and sex. Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a…Multiple system atrophy with motor fluctuations: A presynaptic disease variant?
Objective: To describe a case-series of Parkinsonian multiple system atrophy (MSAp) firstly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) due to clear-cut and severe l-dopa-induced motor fluctuations…
