ABSTRACT
We applied MIBG scintigraphy to measure the sympathetic innervation of the major salivary glands in 28 patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and 15 controls. MIBG uptake did not differ significantly between MSA patients and controls. This normal MIBG uptake correlates with predominantly intact postganglionic sympathetic innervation in MSA.
