There is no specific treatment for OPCA. Physicians may try different medications to treat the ataxia, tremor and rigidity that are associated with the disorder. Other treatments are directed at specific symptoms. Stiffness, spasms, sleep disorders, depression, and tremor may be improved with medication. A physical therapist may be helpful in establishing a routine of exercise and stretching, and in obtaining devices or appliances to assist in walking and other daily activities.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Multiple System Atrophy Please click here to view the full topic text: Multiple System Atrophy Background: The concept of multiple system atrophy (MSA) as a unitary diagnosis encompassing several clinical syndromes has a long history (see Table 1 In 1996 and 1998, the Consensus Committees representing the American Autonomic Society and the American Academy of Neurology defined MSA as a sporadic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease of undetermined etiology, characterized by extrapyramidal, pyramidal, cerebellar, and autonomic dysfunction in any combination. MSA can be classified as possible, probable, or definite based on the features and criteria in the 3 clinical domains of (1) autonomic and/or urinary dysfunction, (2) parkinsonism, and (3) cerebellar dysfunction ( Table 2 Table 3 Table 4 Table 5 ... Table 6 ). Possible MSA can be diagnosed when one criterion and two features separate from other clinical domains are found. The diagnosis of probable MSA requires the criterion of autonomic and/or urinary dysfunction and the presence of poorly levodopa-responsive parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia. Only pathologic findings can confirm the diagnosis of definite MSA. When autonomic failure predominates, MSA sometimes is termed Shy-Drager syndrome. When extrapyramidal features predominate, the term striatonigral degeneration or MSA-P sometimes is used. When cerebellar features predominate, MSA sometimes is termed sporadic olivopontocerebellar atrophy or MSA-C.

What is Sporadic OPCA? Read about OPCA Read about Hereditary OPCA What is Sporadic Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy? Olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) is almost certainly not a single disease, but a group of diseases. In this brochure, we discuss OPCA that has occurred "sporadically", which means that no one else in the family has ever had the same disorder. In the brochure "Hereditary Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy", we describe forms of ataxia that are known to run in families. Many people do not receive a diagnosis of OPCA until they have seen many different physicians. Physicians also use different terms when they diagnose OPCA. Here is a list of some of the terms, or diagnoses, that physicians may use: olivopontocerebellar atrophy or degeneration olivocerebellar atrophy or degeneration Multisystem atrophy ataxia Marie's ataxia Holmes ataxia Menzel's ataxia ataxia with Parkinsonism, autonomic neuropathy, corticospinal features or dementia spastic ataxia In addition many patients with sporadic OPCA may have been diagnosed as having Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or other neurologic conditions before the diagnosis of OPCA becomes clear.

Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Olivopontocerebellar Degeneration, OPCA Definition Olivopontocerebellar atrophy is a neurodegenerative illness that causes certain brain areas (which may include the olivary nucleus, the pons, and the cerebellum) to shrink. Central Nervous System This condition can be inherited but it most commonly affects people without a known family history (sporadic form). Sporadic cases tend to affect people in their 50s while familial cases usually start earlier. The cause of sporadic olivopontocerebellar atrophy is not known, but the disease is progressive.
