Abstract:
We report a 64-year-old woman whose history started with urinary incontinence and neurological symptoms (cognitive impairment, dysarthria, and gait difficulties). The 18F-FDG PET/CT showed hypometabolism of the whole cerebellum. Then 6 months later, she developed tremor, postural instability, and ataxia, so she was hospitalized to complete study. Blood tests (antibodies, vitamin B12, copper, genetic test of spinocerebellar ataxia) did not have alterations, but imaging studies, along with clinical symptoms, provide the diagnosis of possible multiple system atrophy.
