Multiple Systems Atrophy Synonyms


Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects various systems in the body. It is important to be aware of the different terms used to refer to this condition, as it can help in understanding and discussing MSA. Here are some synonyms commonly used for Multiple Systems Atrophy:




  • Shy-Drager Syndrome: This term was previously used to describe a subtype of MSA characterized by autonomic dysfunction.

  • Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy (OPCA): OPCA is a term used to describe a subtype of MSA that primarily affects the cerebellum, pons, and inferior olives.

  • Striatonigral Degeneration: This term refers to a subtype of MSA that primarily affects the basal ganglia, resulting in movement and coordination difficulties.

  • Autonomic Failure, Idiopathic: This term is sometimes used to describe the autonomic dysfunction seen in MSA, particularly in the early stages of the disease.

  • Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension: This term is used to describe the drop in blood pressure upon standing, which is a common symptom of MSA.

  • Sporadic Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy: This term is used to describe cases of MSA that occur sporadically, without a known genetic cause.



It is important to note that while these terms are used interchangeably with Multiple Systems Atrophy, they may refer to specific subtypes or aspects of the disease. The diagnosis and management of MSA should always be done by qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in neurodegenerative disorders.
