The clinical presentation is variable. The most severe presentation is of infantile acidosis, resulting in death by 6 months of age. [adc.bmj.com]
Symptoms can present themselves as early as three months but are generally seen before the child reaches two years of age. [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment

This book discusses as well the molecular genetic approaches, which are making an impact in the treatment of major disorders by providing pure and comparatively inexpensive gene products. [books.google.com]
Treatment Cerebral palsy can’t be cured, but treatment will often improve a child's capabilities. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
Treatment for complications will depend on your child’s symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how serious the condition is. Your child’s healthcare provider will discuss treatment choices with you. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported for the general condition. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis
Prognosis Cerebral palsy doesn’t always cause profound disabilities and for most people with CP the disorder does not affect life expectancy. [childneurologyfoundation.org]
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]
Firstly, some may be treatable; secondly, the family can be provided with more accurate information regarding the prognosis; and finally, genetic counselling may be offered, including, where appropriate, prenatal testing. [adc.bmj.com]
Prognosis [ 3 ] The more severe the child's physical, functional or cognitive impairment, the greater the possibility of difficulties with walking. [patient.info]
Etiology
Mutations of the aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetases SARS and WARS2 are implicated in the etiology of autosomal recessive intellectual disability. Hum Mutat. 2017 Jun;38(6):621-636. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Although frequently requiring sedation, the brain MRI is often the best choice for imaging when looking for an etiology. Imaging around 18 months of age may provide the best yield. [medicalhomeportal.org]

Prevention
Can cerebral palsy be prevented? In many cases, the cause of cerebral palsy is not known, so there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. [americanpregnancy.org]
It can be prevented with a vaccine. Chickenpox (varicella). Chickenpox is a contagious viral infection that causes itching and rashes, and it can cause pregnancy complications. It too can be prevented with a vaccine. Cytomegalovirus. [mayoclinic.org]
How can I help prevent CP in my child? Because healthcare providers don’t know fully what causes congenital CP, little can be done to prevent it. CP related to gene problems can’t be prevented. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Treating hereditary spastic paraplegia It isn't possible to prevent, slow or reverse hereditary spastic paraplegia, but some of the symptoms can be managed so that day-to-day activities become easier. [nhs.uk]
Nonsurgical interventions may include: Rehabilitation Positioning aids (used to help the child sit, lie, or stand) Braces and splints (used to prevent deformity and to provide support or protection) Medications (used to help control seizures or to decrease [stanfordchildrens.org]
