Abstract Objective: To identify the gene mutation responsible for a family presenting spastic paraplegia, cerebellar ataxia and neuropathy with autosomal recessive transmission. [trace.ddbj.nig.ac.jp]
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]
Most patients presented with spastic paraparesis. Additional features included ataxia, dystonia, intellectual impairment, myoclonus, and parkinsonism. One patient presented with pure sensory and motor neuropathy. [ng.neurology.org]
Autosomal recessive HSP as well as sporadic cases present a significant diagnostic challenge. [mobile.fluidigm.com]

Other Pathologies
- White Matter Lesions
The T2 high-signal-intensity lesions in the white matter were present in 6 of 9 patients (67%), all members of families I and III. Those white matter lesions were mild and located in the periventricular white matter and centrum semiovale. [ajnr.org]

Prognosis
Abstract Although SPG11 is the most common complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia, our knowledge of the long-term prognosis and life expectancy is limited. [nature.com]
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 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]
