Types of Shy-Drager Syndrome

Shy-Drager Syndrome: Types list

The list of types of Shy-Drager Syndrome mentioned in various sources includes:

  • Olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA)
  • MSA parkinsonian form (striatonigral degeneration) - similar to Parkinson's disease
  • MSA mixed cerebellar and parkinsonian form

Types discussion:

MSA has been classified clinically into three types, olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA), which primarily affects balance, coordination, and speech; a parkinsonian form (striatonigral degeneration), which can resemble Parkinson's disease because of slow movement and stiff muscles; and a mixed cerebellar and parkinsonian form.
