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]

The risk of an individual inheriting the abnormal gene depends on the mode of transmission and whether the mutated gene is present on a sex chromosome or an autosome. [encyclopedia.com]

  On the other hand, HSP is classified as complex or complicated when associated with other neurological signs, including ataxia, mental retardation, dementia, extrapyramidal signs, visual dysfunction or epilepsy, or with extraneurological signs. [psychology.wikia.com]

• Asymptomatic

  (Arg118Gln) mutation, whereas seven heterozygous family members are asymptomatic. [doi.org]

  The phenotype was one of pure HSP with a wide range of disease severity with some patients requiring a wheelchair whereas others remained asymptomatic at the age of 40 years. [jnnp.bmj.com]

  The parents (II-1 and 2), who were first cousins, were neurologically asymptomatic. Arrow indicates the proband, and dots indicate the persons who permit analysis of their DNAs. [intechopen.com]

• 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]

  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]

  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]

• Cerebellar Sign

  SPG7 is quite rare in Japan, but it should be included in the differential diagnosis for hereditary spastic-ataxic syndromes, even if the cerebellar signs are much more pronounced than the pyramidal tract signs. [nature.com]

  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]

  On the other hand, HSP is classified as complex or complicated when associated with other neurological signs, including ataxia, mental retardation, dementia, extrapyramidal signs, visual dysfunction or epilepsy, or with extraneurological signs. [psychology.wikia.com]

  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]

• Dysmetria

  However, there may be spastic quadriplegia which is often associated with dysmetria, tremor, and athetosis. Ataxia eventually develops in most patients. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  Moderate truncal ataxia was present with bilateral dysmetria and dysdiadochokinesia. It was not possible to assess cerebellar function in the legs due to weakness. [journals.plos.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 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]
