    Notes: Abstract Pain is a recognized feature of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD) but has never been studied in multiple system atrophy (MSA), the commonest cause of atypical parkinsonism. We retrospectively analysed histories of pain in 100 consecutive cases of clinically probable MSA. Details were obtained from the medical records of 100 patients with MSA, comprising 82 with the striatonigral degeneration (SND) type and 18 with the olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) type of MSA. Pain was reported in 47% of the MSA patients. It was classified as rheumatic in 64% of MSA patients reporting pain, sensory in 28%, dystonic in 21%, and levodopa-related in 16%, mostly related to off-period or diphasic dystonias. There was a mixed pain syndrome in 19% of these patients. Pain was significantly more commonly reported by females (P=0.02), and by patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesias (P=0.02). No other clinical feature differentiated MSA patients who reported pain from those who did not. The mean delay between disease onset and onset of pain was 2.9 years, but pain was reported at the time of, or before, disease onset in about 30% of patients. The overall prevalence of pain in MSA was similar to that reported in IPD, but the distribution of pain categories was different.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Various clinico-pathological studies have shown that appr. 20 % of patients with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) may have neuropathological evidence of alternative causes of parkinsonism. Most of these misdiagnosed “IPD” patients meet clinical criteria for either multiple system atrophy (MSA), or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), or corticobasal degeneration (CBD). A careful history and physical examination, as well as follow-ups and selected investigations are essential for an accurate clinical diagnosis of these atypical parkinsonian syndromes. The following paper therfore provides a review of clinical features and diagnostic findings in MSA, PSP and CBD, in order to facilitate recognition of these patients.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Verschiedene klinisch-pathologische Studien haben in den letzten Jahren gezeigt, daß etwa 20 % der Patienten mit der klinischen Diagnose eines idiopathischen Parkinson-Syndroms (IPS) neuropathologisch andere Formen eines Parkinson-Syndroms aufweisen. Die Mehrzahl dieser irrtümlich als IPS diagnostizierten Patienten leidet an einem von drei atypischen Parkinson-Syndromen (APS), der Multisystematrophie (MSA), der progressiven supranukleären Blickparese (PSP) oder der corticobasalen Degeneration (CBD). Fehldiagnosen dieser Erkrankungen sind häufig und unvermeidbar, wenn die jeweils Syndrom-typischen Zeichen nicht ausreichend beachtet werden. Ziel der Übersicht ist es daher, die charakteristische Symptomatik dieser Erkrankungen vorzustellen. Neurophysiologische und bildgebende Untersuchungsverfahren können zur Diagnosesicherung beitragen, sind aber nicht selten unergiebig. Eine ausführliche Anamnese und wiederholte neurologische Verlaufsuntersuchungen führen nach unserer Erfahrung in den meisten Fällen zur richtigen Diagnose.
