Abstract
Multiple systemic atrophy.(MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with a poor prognosis and unknown etiology, which belongs to the “atypical parkinsonism” group of diseases. Currently, the diagnosis of MSA is difficult and at the present stage remains predominantly clinical. But, despite the fact that no effective treatment has been developed, timely diagnosis and symptomatic therapy can improve the patient’s quality of life. The article presents a clinical observation of a patient with MSA, a feature of which was the combination of MSA with vascular pathology, which greatly complicated and delayed the diagnosis of MSA.
