Parkinson's disease‐like presentation of multiple system atrophy with poor response to STN stimulation: A clinicopathological case report

We report on a clinicopathological case of multiple system atrophy with good response to levodopa and subsequent development of motor complications. Because the subject complied with all the inclusion criteria (Core Assessment Program for Surgical Interventional Therapies in Parkinson's Disease), bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation electrodes were implanted. © 2004 Movement Disorder Society
