The concept of multiple system atrophy (MSA) as a unitary diagnosis encompassing several clinical syndromes has a long history. The first cases of MSA were presented 106 years ago. The term MSA was introduced in 1969. The discovery of glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) and alpha-synuclein immunostaining as a sensitive marker of MSA was the major milestone in the definition of MSA as a clinicopathological entity (Table 1).

Thank you for your posts. My mama was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's over a year ago. I knew her progression was to fast to be it. I did night after late night research crying to find the answer. And there it was MSA. Exactly everything she had been going through. Her docs out in Colorado didnt have much knowledge of MSA. But now we know the beast we are facing that is taking my beautiful mama. I read her blogs about others that are in her situation. Knowing that shes not alone helps. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thanks for raising awareness. April
