Elderly-Onset Multiple System Atrophy with Lewy Body Pathology: A Case Report

An 81-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of progressive dysarthria and gait disturbance. Subsequently, she developed orthostatic hypotension, obstructive sleep apnea, right-sided resting tremor, and rigidity.

description An 81-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of progressive dysarthria and gait disturbance. Subsequently, she developed orthostatic hypotension, obstructive sleep apnea, right-sided resting tremor, and rigidity. Together with characteristic findings of imaging studies, she was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Despite progressive dysphagia and repeated choking episodes, the patient elected not to use artificial feeding or tracheostomy. She died suddenly at age 91 after 12 years of illness. The autopsy revealed neuropathological features of both MSA and of Parkinson’s disease. The peripheral autonomic ganglia revealed both pre- and postganglionic involvement by synucleinopathy, which may have underscored the sudden death of the patient. The patient survived 10 years after onset, despite the presence of multiple poor prognostic factors in MSA including the onset of old age and early appearance of orthostatic hypotension and falls, in addition to the complication of PD pathology found by autopsy. Multidisciplinary team approach and her preserved cognitive function may have been contributory to the long-term survival.
