Here, we performed a genome-wide linkage analysis on a consanguineous family presenting an autosomal recessive form of HSP associated with mild mental retardation, brainstem dysraphia, and clinically asymptomatic cerebellar atrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

HSP is classified according to the clinical phenotype as either pure or complex, the latter presenting with neurological and systemic impairments in addition to spastic paraparesis. [journals.lww.com]

  HSP clinical syndromes may be limited to difficulty walking due to lower extremity spastic weakness (“uncomplicated HSP”) or may include other neurologic or systemic disturbances (“complicated HSP”). [mhmedical.com]

  An early feature is difficulty walking due to spasticity and weakness, which typically affect both legs equally. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  Balance difficulty, often worse when walking in the dark or on uneven surfaces is not uncommon in individuals with HSP. Tightness in the legs and leg muscle spasm (often at night) are not uncommon. [rarediseases.org]

  […] characterized by progressive, usually severe, lower extremity spasticity and weakness. [flybase.org]

  Diagnosis HSP is diagnosed by the following: 1) typical symptoms (lower extremity spastic weakness that may be non-worsening (early childhood onset) or slowly progressive over many years; 2) findings on neurologic examination (lower extremity hyperreflexia [rarediseases.org]

  Pure HSPs are characterized by slowly progressive lower extremity spasticity and weakness, corticospinal tract signs, variable hypertonic urinary disturbances, and mild reduction of lower extremity vibration sense and proprioception. [ng.neurology.org]

  Given that both of these disorders are treatable, dopa-responsive dystonia should be excluded in a child with progressive gait disturbance and lower-extremity spasticity of unknown etiology, whereas arginase deficiency should be considered in a young [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]

Standard Therapies Treatment: management of symptoms Despite encouraging progress in many research laboratories (see reference 7 for example), treatment for HSP is presently limited to reducing symptoms of muscle weakness, spasticity, and urinary urgency [rarediseases.org]

Treatment [ edit ] No specific treatment is known that would prevent, slow, or reverse HSP. Available therapies mainly consist of symptomatic medical management and promoting physical and emotional well-being. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis 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. [ipfs.io]

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 and usually starts in the legs and spreads to other muscles, ultimately leading to confinement to bed, the prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. [psychology.wikia.com]

This distinction is important for genetic counseling of family members and for the patient’s prognosis, in that HSP generally carries a more favorable prognosis. [2] Other components of the differential diagnosis of HSP are similar to those of PLS. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology Worldwide, the prevalence of all hereditary spastic paraplegias combined is estimated to be 2 to 6 in 100,000 people. [15] A Norwegian study of more than 2.5 million people published in March 2009 has found an HSP prevalence rate of 7.4/100,000 [ipfs.io]

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]
