It is clinically important, to distinguish between idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) not only because of the implications for prognosis but also because urinary incontinence is often an early troublesome feature of MSA and by making the correct neurological diagn
The distinction of multiple system atrophy (MSA) from Parkinson's disease (PD) can be difficult, especially early in the disease. In MSA degeneration of sacral anterior horn cells (Onuf's nucleus) results in denervation-reinnervation of anal and urethral sphincter muscles, which can be recognized as
The clonidine-growth hormone test (CGHT) has been proposed as a means of differentiating multiple system atrophy (MSA) from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it is controversial whether the CGHT is valid. We sought to confirm the validity of the CGHT and to compare the diagnostic accurac
## Abstract Sphincter electromyography (spEMG) is often used as an ancillary test when multiple system atrophy (MSA) is suspected. Our aim was to determine the clinical features associated with spEMG being performed, the influence of the result on the final clinical diagnosis, and its utility as a
