We read with great interest the paper by Salazar and colleagues, analyzing postural and action myoclonus in patients with parkinsonian-type multiple system atrophy (pMSA). 1 We agree with their observation that abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) involving fingers and hands are frequently seen in

## Abstract We studied four patients with familial olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) who had abnormal twitching of the cheeks and perioral muscles induced by facial movements. With the muscles at rest, electromyographic (EMG) recordings of the orbicularis oris and risorius muscles revealed myokym
## Abstract In the cerebellar type of multiple system atrophy (MSA‐C), the burden of pathological changes involves the cerebellum and its associated brainstem structures in the basis pontis and the inferior olivary nucleus, and as a result, the clinical phenotype is dominated early on by the cerebe
## Abstract Topographical or compartmental involvement of the putamen and caudate nucleus has not been fully elucidated in multiple system atrophy predominantly presenting with Parkinsonism (MSA‐P). We carried out immunohistochemical studies using antibodies to calbindin (CALB) and calcineurin (CaN
## Abstract Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extrapyramidal signs, prominent autonomic failure, and a poor prognosis. In the absence of restorative treatment, management is aimed at improving quality of life. Little is known about modifiable
## Abstract Using antibodies to calcineurin (CaN) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), we performed topographical and cellular immunohistochemical analysis on the posterior putamen of autopsied patients with multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism (MSA‐P). We document that in these p
