[Autonomic Disorder in Multiple System Atrophy]

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by both autonomic and motor dysfunction (cerebellar ataxia and/or parkinsonism). The former presents with symptoms associated with urological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, auditory, and respiratory disorders, among others. Therefore, multidisciplinary collaboration between neurologists and specialists from the aforementioned disciplines is extremely important for the management of these patients. Optimal management of autonomic disorders in patients with MSA can significantly maximize patients' quality of life.
