Cognitive Impairments in Multiple System Atrophy of the Cerebellar Type
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We investigated the cognitive profiles in a large sample of patients with multiple system atrophy-cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C) and compared directly them in patients with clinical diagnosis of probable MSA-C without dementia and control subjects with intact cognition. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 26 patients with clinical diagnosis of probable MSA-C. All patients unde...
متن کاملCognitive performance in multiple system atrophy.
The cognitive performance of a group of patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) of striato-nigral predominance was compared with that of age and IQ matched control subjects, using three tests sensitive to frontal lobe dysfunction and a battery sensitive to memory and learning deficits in Parkinson's disease and dementia of the Alzheimer type. The MSA group showed significant deficits in all...
متن کاملDysphagia in Multiple System Atrophy of Cerebellar and Parkinsonian Types
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between dysphagia and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), and to characterize dysphagia in patients with the cerebellar (MSA-C) and parkinsonian (MSA-P) types. Methods: Sixty-one MSA patients (25 males, 36 females; 40 MSA-C, 21 MSA-P; mean age, 66.3 ± 11.0) were recruited. ADL was assessed on th...
متن کاملIn vivo voxel-based morphometry in multiple system atrophy of the cerebellar type.
BACKGROUND Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic neurodegenerative disease. According to the clinical presentation a parkinsonian type and a cerebellar type (MSA-C) are distinguished. OBJECTIVE To study the morphological alterations of MSA-C-affected brains in vivo using voxel-based morphometric analysis of magnetic resonance images. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Fourteen pa...
متن کاملSleep Apnea in Multiple System Atrophy of Cerebellar Type: A 3.0 T MRS/Volumetry Pilot Study
In a previous study, we demonstrated that the ratio of glutamate to creatine (Glu/Cr) is reduced in the pons of multiple system atrophy of cerebellar type (MSA-C) patients compared to the control subjects [1]. Given the presence of respiratory centers in the brainstem [2], we hypothesized that the Glu/Cr of the pons could be a biomarker of respiratory dysfunction, such as sleep apnea, in indivi...
