Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by various combinations of autonomic, cerebellar, pyramidal and extra pyramidal signs. Based on the consensus criteria, patients with MSA are classified as MSA-C and MSA-P. MRI plays an important role in the early diagnosis.
