Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is subdivided into two types: MSA-P (parkinsonian) and MSA-C (cerebellar). Brain SPECT allows for the detection of nigrostriatal involvement, even in the early stages. To date, the scientific literature does not show a consensus on how to follow-up MSA, espe...
