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

## Abstract Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a degenerative disease manifesting a combination of parkinsonism, cerebellar, pyramidal, and autonomic (including urinary, sexual, and anorectal) dysfunction. It is pathomorphologically defined, but lacks a definitive clinical diagnostic test. Sphincter
## 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
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
## Abstract Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a Parkinson's Disease (PD)βlike Ξ±βsynucleinopathy clinically characterized by dysautonomia, parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and pyramidal signs in any combination. We aimed to determine whether the clinical presentation of MSA as well as diagnostic and
