Abstract

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic, neurodegenerative disorder, clinically characterized by parkinsonian, autonomic, cerebellar and pyramidal signs. We describe two patients showing different presentations of the same disease. The patient on case 1 presents features of MSA-C or olivopontocerebellar atrophy with the pontine "cross sign" on brain MRI. The second case reports a patient presenting MSA-P or striatonigral degeneration and the brain MRI shows lenticular nucleus sign alteration. We think that brain MRI might increase the accuracy diagnostic of MSA.
