  All the patients presented with short stature and dysarthria, and were delayed in reaching motor and cognitive developmental milestones. They all had some difficulties in walking, with clumsy, mildly spastic gait. [cags.org.ae]

• Difficulty Walking

  An early feature is difficulty walking due to spasticity and weakness, which typically affect both legs equally. [icdlist.com]

  The primary symptom of HSP is difficulty walking due to weakness and tightness (spasticity) in the legs. Both legs are affected, usually to a relatively similar degree. The term “paraplegia” means severe weakness in both legs including paralysis. [rarediseases.org]

  Progressive difficulty walking is the main problem and occurs due to taut and weak muscles. This manifests initially as stumbling, stubbing the toe, catching of the feet on uneven surfaces and sidewalks, clumsy gait, or difficulty with balance. [encyclopedia.com]

  Most patients present with difficulty walking or gait disturbance, noticed either by themselves or a relative. In those with childhood onset, a delay in walking is not uncommon. [jnnp.bmj.com]

  HSP syndromes are classified as “uncomplicated” when symptoms are confined to leg weakness and tightness and urinary urgency. [rarediseases.org]

• Small Hand

  In the more severely affected, generally older, individuals, weakness of the small hand muscles was observed. Most individuals had mild weakness of the abductor pollicis brevis, abductor digiti minimi, and palmar and dorsal interossei. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cerebellar Sign

  Mild cerebellar signs are common. The most severely affected individuals have choreoathetosis. Emotional lability / difficulty in controlling emotions and affective disorders, such as inappropriate euphoria and/or crying, are frequently described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Cerebellar signs were present in 4 patients (family I) and consisted of a dysarthric cerebellar speech, dysmetria, and abnormal rapid alternating movements in the upper extremities. [ajnr.org]

  A trace of terminal dysmetria may also be found in the upper limbs, but more florid cerebellar signs are not seen. [jnnp.bmj.com]

  There were subtle cerebellar signs in the upper limbs and mild cerebellar dysarthria. Ophthalmological examination showed normal retinal and macular findings, but visual acuity was 0.3–0.5. [journals.plos.org]

While this adds considerable challenges in the diagnostic workup, certain specific complicating features may guide the differential diagnosis between the different HSPs. [scielo.br]

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]
