Olivopontocerebellar atrophy Information about Olivopontocerebellar atrophy Alternative names OPCA; Olivopontocerebellar degeneration 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. Causes, incidence, and risk factors The cause of sporadic olivopontocerebellar atrophy is not known, but the disease is progressive. This condition can be inherited or affect people without a known family history (sporadic form). Symptoms tend to start sooner in people with the familial form. This disease is slightly more common in men than in women. Symptoms Many symptoms are associated with olivopontocerebellar atrophy but the predominant feature is progressive ataxia (clumsiness) and difficulties with balance. There may be slurring of speech and difficulty walking. Other symptoms may include: tremor abnormal movements abnormal eye movements sexual dysfunction bowel or bladder problems stiffness or rigidity spasticity neuropathy difficulty swallowing Signs and tests A thorough medical and neurological examination as well as a good history of symptoms and family history are necessary to make the diagnosis. There are no specific tests for this condition.

Course : Orthostatic hypotension and symptoms of autonomic failure such as constipation, impotence in men, and urinary incontinence usually predominate early in the course of the disease. Constipation may be unrelenting and hard to manage. Shy-Drager syndrome may be difficult to diagnose in the early stages. For the majority of patients, blood pressure is low when the patients stand up and high when the patients lie down. Other symptoms that may develop include impaired speech, difficulties with breathing and swallowing, and inability to sweat. 3. CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS : Neurodegeneration in subcortical nuclei is mainly affecting oligodendrocytes. A simultaneous synucleopathy and tauopathy is observed. 4. EPIDEMILOGICAL DATA :

Contact Us Multiple System Atrophy Description Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease marked by a combination of symptoms affecting movement, blood pressure, and other body functions; hence the label "multiple system" atrophy. The cause of MSA is unknown. Various Forms of MSA Symptoms of MSA vary in distribution, onset and severity from person to person. Because of this, three different diseases were initially described to encompass this range of symptoms: Shy-Drager syndrome, striatonigral degeneration, and olivopontocerebellar atrophy. In Shy-Drager syndrome, the most prominent symptoms are those involving the autonomic system, the body system that regulates blood pressure, urinary function, and other functions not involving conscious control. Striatonigral degeneration causes parkinsonian symptoms such as slowed movements and rigidity, while olivopontocerebellar atrophy principally affects balance, coordination, and speech.

National Ataxia Foundation (NAF) What is the National Ataxia Foundation? The National Ataxia Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1957 with the primary mission of encouraging and supporting research into Hereditary Ataxia, a group of neurological disorders which are chronic and progressive conditions affecting coordination. There are more than 45 affiliated chapters and support groups throughout the U.S. and Canada. Who is NAF for? An estimated 150,000 people in the United States are affected by the hereditary and sporadic ataxias. They strike without regard to age, gender, or race. NAF's members include: people with hereditary or sporadic ataxia, their families, physicians and other health professionals who treat people with ataxia, physicians and scientists involved in research into the causes of ataxia, others interested in the fight against ataxia or in disability issues. (For people who have ataxia as a symptom of other medical conditions such as head injury, stroke, MS, or alcoholism, we recommend that you contact the organization related to your specific condition for the most up-to-date information. We will be happy to provide you with appropriate addresses and telephone numbers if needed.) What does NAF do?

The report elaborates the subtle differences in clinical presentation and genetic screening for Werdnig-Hoffman Disease vis a vis Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy. The case example provides evidence sufficient to caution geneticists not to confuse the two syndromes when rendering genetic counselling to families. To facilitate the differentiation and diagnosis of these inherited diseases, the report includes 7 authentic magnetic resonance images of an infant afflicted with OPCA, along with 7 histologically stained color muscle biopsy tissue specimens revealing spinal muscular atrophy.

In OPCA, benzodiazepine receptors were unchanged in cerebellar cortex but increased in the dentate nucleus, perhaps related to loss of Purkinje cell or brainstem afferents. Muscimol binding was reduced primarily in the granule cell layer. The density of muscarinic cholinergic
