MRI reveals atrophy of the head of the caudate nucleus; with advanced disease, cerebral and cerebellar atrophy may occur. Diagnosis is based on history and genetic testing. ... In patients with spastic quadriplegia, a less favorable prognosis correlates with a longer delay in resolution of extensor tone.

Frequently, atrophy of the cerebellum occurs. Genetic testing provides the best proof of genetic defect and yields key information about the type of inheritance and the overall prognosis. In an ataxic patient, gene tests are sensitive and specific,1 enhancing my ability to accurately diagnose this patient.

- In addition to cerebellar and brainstem atrophy, several other imaging findings have been reported in PEHO and PEHO-like patients including cerebral atrophy[2, 6, 7-10], hypoplastic corpus callosum[3, 10–14], and abnormal signal intensity of the cerebral white matter[3, 5, 6, 10].

- cerebellar atrophy. CSF - normal or mildly elevated protein, mononuclear pleocytosis, increased IgG index, and/or oligoclonal bands. The most consistent neuropathologic feature is a diffuse loss of Purkinje cells. Neuronal loss in the granular cell layer and deep cerebellar nuclei may also occur.

Correct diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) is important in terms of patient management and prognosis, and for research to provide better understanding of the nature and cause of the disease, leading hopefully to better treatment or even prevention. Prior to 1989 there was really no framework of diagnostic criteria for MSA.

The literature is confusing mixing pathological terms such as olivo-ponto-cerebellar atrophy (OPCA) with clinical terms I prefer to use the term "idiopathic late-onset cerebellar ataxia" (ILOCA). A proportion of patients in this group, progress to develop the features of multiple system atrophy (MSA).
