abstract = {Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative
disease not only affecting the basal ganglia, brainstem,
cerebellum, and intermediolateral cell columns of the spinal
cord but also the cerebral cortex. Clinically, cerebellar
(MSA-C) and parkinsonian variants of MSA (MSA-P) are
distinguished. We investigated 14 MSA patients (10 MSA-C, 4
MSA-P, men: 7, women: 7; age: 61.1 ± 3.3 years) and 14
matched controls (men: 7, women: 7; age: 58.6 ± 5.1 years)
with voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to analyze gray and white
matter differences both at baseline and at follow-up, 1 year
later. Baseline comparisons between patients and controls
confirmed significantly less gray matter in MSA in the
cerebellum and cerebral cortex, and significantly less white
matter in the cerebellar peduncles and brainstem.
Comparisons of tissue-loss profiles (i.e., baseline versus
follow-up) between patients and controls, revealed white
matter reduction in MSA along the middle cerebellar
peduncles, reflecting degeneration of the ponto-cerebellar
tract as a particularly prominent and progressive
morphological alteration in MSA. Comparisons between
baseline and follow-up, separately performed in patients and
controls, revealed additional white matter reduction in MSA
along the corpus callosum at follow-up. This was replicated
through additional shape-based analyses indicating a reduced
callosal thickness in the anterior and posterior midbody,
extending posteriorly into the isthmus. Callosal atrophy may
possibly reflect a disease-specific pattern of
neurodegeneration and cortical atrophy, fitting well with
the predominant impairment of motor functions in the MSA
patients.},
