Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 18 (SPG18) is a rare, complex type of HSP that presents in early childhood. [cags.org.ae]

Evidence for global neurologic disease, primarily spasticity, may be present as early as 3 months of age. Intellectual disability ranges from borderline to severe. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  • Difficulty Walking

    The onset of symptoms varies greatly; however, abnormalities in muscle tone and difficulty walking usually become noticeable in adolescence. Many features of spastic paraplegia type 11 are progressive. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

    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]

  • Hyperreflexia

    People with this form of spastic paraplegia can also experience numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs (sensory neuropathy); disturbance in the nerves used for muscle movement (motor neuropathy); intellectual disability; exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

    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 Babinski sign. [journals.plos.org]

    Upper limb involvement is relatively uncommon and usually consists of mild hyperreflexia, which may be present early in the disease. A trace of terminal dysmetria may also be found in the upper limbs, but more florid cerebellar signs are not seen. [jnnp.bmj.com]

    All of them started with symptoms consisting of gait difficulties and weakness in the lower extremities, and their neurologic examination showed an upper motor neuron syndrome predominantly in the lower extremities with weakness, spasticity and hyperreflexia [ajnr.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]

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]

Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported for the general condition. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment There is no curable or preventive treatment for HSP. Symptomatic treatment for muscle spasm and spasticity includes oral medications like baclofen, tizanidine, and benzodiazepines like valium. [encyclopedia.com]

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]

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, 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]

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 This varies widely, but most often HSP is compatible with a normal life expectancy. The rate of progression varies considerably and is influenced by the mode of inheritance. [encyclopedia.com]

Disorders, the prognosis of which differs significantly from HSP, such as multiple sclerosis and familial motor neuron disease should also be excluded. The necessity for investigations will vary depending on the individual clinical picture. [jnnp.bmj.com]
