The disorder has an adult-onset and some affected individuals become wheelchair-bound as the disease progresses. Management of spastic paraplegia includes regular physical therapy, assistive walking devices and ankle-foot orthotics.[cags.org.ae]
Some patients may become wheelchair-bound after several decades. Other features may include upper limb spasticity, impaired vibration sense in the distal lower limbs, and urinary urgency or incontinence (summary by {1:de Bot et al., 2013}).[diseaseinfosearch.org]
Disability was assessed on a five-point scale: 1, normal gait or very slight stiffness in the legs; 2, moderate gait stiffness; 3, unable to run but able to walk alone; 4, walk with help; 5, wheelchair-bound.[academic.oup.com]
She became wheelchairbound from the age of 43 years. Examination at the age of 63 years showed severe cerebellar ataxia in truncus and extremities.[journals.plos.org]
Although 95% of patients will show initial improvement following immunosuppressive therapy, the relapse rate is high. 64% improved and are able to return to work and 11% become bedridden or wheelchairbound.[neuroweb.us]
The voice may be hoarse. Genetics Heterozygous mutations in the TLK2 gene (17q23) are responsible for this condition. Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
This process is due to mutations in the KIAA0196 gene, located on the longarm of chromosome 8 (8q24.13). This gene encodes the protein estrumpellina. Although its exact function is unknown, this protein is active throughout the body.[ivami.com]
Some people with IAHSP experience a deletion mutation in their ALS2 gene, located on the longarm of chromosome 2 at 2q33.2. HSP can be transmitted as an autosomal dominant, autosomal reseccive, or x-linked recessive trait.[disabled-world.com]
The tests helped uncover a de-novo mutation (c.1669G A, p.Ala557Thr) in the KIAA0196 gene of one patient, suggesting a diagnosis of spastic paraplegia 8.[cags.org.ae]
The structure of the protein suggests that it may interact with the cellular cytoskeleton. They have identified at least three mutations in the gene KIAA0196 causing the spastic paraplegia type 8.[ivami.com]

CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first report describing SPG10-HSP outside Europe, which suggests KIF5A mutation is a shared genetic etiology for HSP over ethnicities.[neurology.org]
Patients also suffer from urinary urgency and incontinence. Hereditary spastic paraplegias have a combined prevalence of about 1 to 18 in 100,000 and SPG8 forms only a small percentage of these cases.[cags.org.ae]
Other features may include upper limb spasticity, impaired vibration sense in the distal lower limbs, and urinary urgency or incontinence (summary by {1:de Bot et al., 2013}).[diseaseinfosearch.org]

Get Update Overview Spastic paraplegia-8 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by adult onset of progressive lower limb spasticity and hyperreflexia resulting in difficulty walking.[diseaseinfosearch.org]
People with this condition can also experience exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia), a decreased ability to feel vibrations, muscle wasting (amyotrophy), and reduced bladder control.[ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinically, patients present with slowly progressive distal limb weakness and lowerextremityspasticity. Peripheral sensory neurons may be affected in the later stages of the disease.[ebi.ac.uk]
Spastic paraplegias are a diverse group of disorders in which the autosomal dominant forms are characterized by progressive, lowerextremityspasticity caused by axonal degeneration in the terminal portions of the longest descending and ascending corticospinal[genecards.org]
Clinical Features Symptoms depend on the type of HSP inherited Main feature progressive spasticity in the lower limbs, due to pyramidal tract dysfunction In the lowerextremities, spasticity is increased at the hamstrings, quadriceps and ankles[slideshare.net]
Other common symptoms of HSP are urinary urgency and frequency, hyperactive reflexes, difficulty with balance, clonus, Babinski’ssign, diminished vibration sense in the feet, muscle spasms, and congenital foot problems such as pes cavus (high arched[sp-foundationorg.presencehost.net]
Examination at the age of 22 years after a traffic accident revealed failure of abduction of the left eye, hyperreflexia in all four extremities and Babinskisign.[journals.plos.org]
Babinskisign was negative. Video gait analysis was performed, which showed internal rotation of the hips and feet while walking and running. When walking barefooted she dragged the upper side of her toes, this was more pronounced when running.[omicsonline.org]
Clinically it is divided into a 'pure' or uncomplicated form with progressive spasticity as major symptom, associated with brisk reflexes, muscle weakness, positive Babinski'ssign and urinary urgency as well as a 'complicated' form accompanied with other[link.springer.com]
Cranial neuropathies, particularly bilateral facial nerve palsy, transverse myelitis, spastic paraparesis, disturbances in micturition, Babinskisign are also observed during this stage.[neuroweb.us]
Walking pattern described as “spasticgait” occurs in which the following elements are present, each to variable degree in different individuals: a) heel strike is shifted forward (landing on the mid-foot or even further forward on the balls of the feet[rarediseases.org]

Our findings confirm that this is indeed not an uncommon presentation of this disorder and we suggest that SPG7 gene analysis should be included in the diagnostic workup of autosomal recessive PEO, especially if spasticity is present.[journals.plos.org]

Prognosis: predicting symptoms and course of HSP As noted above, there is significant variation in HSP symptoms and their severity. This limits the certainty of making predictions.[rarediseases.org]
Prognosis [ edit ] Although HSP is a progressive condition, the prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. It primarily affects the legs although there can be some upperbody involvement in some individuals.[en.wikipedia.org]
Favorable prognosis is indicated by preserved action potential preserved R1 or reappearance of R1 after 3 weeks. About 15% of patients will have permanent sequelae.[neuroweb.us]

Pathophysiology [ edit ] The major feature of HSP is a length dependent axonal degeneration. [21] These include the crossed and uncrossed corticospinal tracts to the legs and fasciculus gracilis.[en.wikipedia.org]
Affected patients must undergo regular neurological examinations to evaluate disease progression as well as urological analysis to prevent secondary complications such as urinary tract infections.[cags.org.ae]
