Olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) is the degeneration of neurons in specific areas of the brain – the cerebellum, pons, and inferior olives.[1] OPCA is present in several neurodegenerative syndromes, including inherited and non-inherited forms of ataxia (such as the hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia known as Machado–Joseph disease) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), with which it is primarily associated.[1]
OPCA may also be found in the brains of individuals with prion disorders and inherited metabolic diseases. The characteristic areas of brain damage that indicate OPCA can be seen by imaging the brain using CT scans or MRI studies.[1]
The term was originally coined by Joseph Jules Dejerine and André Thomas.[2][3]
OPCA is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, leading to clumsiness in body movements, veering from midline when walking, wide-based stance, and falls without signs of paralysis or weakness.[4][5] Clinical presentation can vary greatly between patients, but mostly affects speech, balance and walking.[6] Other possible neurological problems include spasmodic dysphonia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, rigidity, dysarthria, dysphagia and neck dystonic posture.[5]
Olivopontocerebellar atrophy is hereditary, but has an unknown genetic basis. There are two forms:
| Number | OMIM | Alt. name | Inheritance |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPCA type 2 | 258300 | Fickler[7]-Winkler[8] type OPCA | autosomal recessive |
| OPCA type 5 | 164700 | OPCA with dementia and extrapyramidal signs | autosomal dominant |
A few non-hereditary diseases formerly categorized as olivopontocerebellar atrophy have been reclassified as forms of multiple system atrophy[9] as well as to four hereditary types, that have been currently reclassified as four different forms of spinocerebellar ataxia:
| Hereditary OPCA type | OPCA name | SCA # | Gene | OMIM |
| OPCA type 1 | "Menzel type OPCA" | SCA1 | ATXN1 | 164400 |
| OPCA type 2, autosomal dominant | "Holguin type OPCA" | SCA2 | ATXN2 | 183090 |
| OPCA type 3 | "OPCA with retinal degeneration" | SCA7 | ATXN7 | 164500 |
| OPCA type 4 | "Schut-Haymaker type OPCA" | SCA1 | ATXN1 | 164400 |
Physiotherapy intervention aims to improve balance and gait of OPCA patients, by stimulating neuroplastic changes in the atrophied neural structure. A challenge-oriented treatment program has previously been shown to be beneficial for individuals with ataxia from OPCA. The treatment program was composed of repetitive training with task challenges (e.g. obstacle course) and/or novel motor skills acquisition over a 12-week period under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Task challenges were progressed only when the patient showed mastery of a task.[4]
Overground harness systems may be used to allow OPCA patients to challenge their balance without chance of falling. Furthermore, home exercise programs and/or aquatic exercises are used to allow more repetitions to facilitate balance learning. Treatment programs should be frequently monitored and adjusted based on a patient's progress. Outcome measures such as the Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index and activities-specific balance confidence scales are useful to assess patient’s progress over time.[4]
