Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are degenerative neurological diseases that have significant urological manifestations. Both diseases can be accompanied by erectile dysfunction, nocturia, urgency, urgency incontinence, and urinary frequency. These diseases are quite different in their presentation with urological symptoms occurring after motor symptoms in PD and before in MSA. MSA is also much more likely to have obstructive or retention symptoms. It is important that urologists are aware of these diseases since some patients may present to them before their neurological disease is identified and the management of their lower urinary tract symptoms is also different. This chapter describes the neuropathology and presentation of these diseases and the urological treatment both conservative and surgical.
