| Abstract: | Multiple system atrophy (MSA) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are progressive neurological disorders with overlapping clinical signs and symptoms. However, due to the course of the disease and the age of onset both disorders are rarely differential diagnosis for each other. We here report the remarkable association of the two diseases in one patient. As MSA dominated the clinical presentation, diagnosis and therapy of MS were delayed. We discuss the clinical symptoms in our patient and highlight the features that allow to differentiate both diseases. |
