Background:

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder.
Recent research has improved understanding of MSA's clinical presentation, progression, and imaging findings.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize recent advancements in understanding multiple system atrophy.
To highlight the knowns and unknowns in MSA pathogenesis.

Main Methods:

Review of recent literature on multiple system atrophy.
Synthesis of clinical, natural history, and imaging data.

Main Results:

Significant progress has been made in characterizing the clinical features, natural history, and imaging of MSA.

The fundamental pathogenetic mechanisms initiating MSA are still not understood.

Conclusions:

Current understanding of MSA has advanced, particularly in its clinical and imaging aspects.
Future research must incorporate neuronal loss, gliosis, and oligodendroglial cytoplasmic inclusions to elucidate MSA etiology.
