Electrophysiological studies in familial spastic paraplegia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motor and sensory conduction studies have been performed in 10 patients from three families with uncomplicated familial spastic paraplegia whose ages ranged from 4 to 41 years. In all cases the values fell within the control range. The findings may be contrasted with those in Friedreich's ataxia and some other spinocerebellar degenerations in which peripheral nerve abnormalities are present.

Three patients who suffer from spastic paraplegia are described who belong to two generations in one family. One of the patients, who has had symptoms and signs for at least 10 years, has a monozygous twin who is unaffected. Using blood groups and chromosomal polymorphisms, the probability of monozygosity is estimated to be 0.99986. The observation of nonpenetrance in familial spastic paraplegi...
متن کاملFamilial spinocerebellar ataxia with skin hyperpigmentation.
Previous reports have shown the association between familial spastic paraplegia and hypopigmentation of the skin. A family is reported in which three siblings presented with progressive spastic paraparesis and cerebellar ataxia. All the siblings had large hyperpigmented naevi of the lower extremities while none of the unaffected members had a skin lesion. A definite association appears to exist...
متن کاملTract-based spatial statistics of diffusion tensor imaging in hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum reveals widespread white matter changes.
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate white matter diffusivity abnormalities in hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum (HSP-TCC) patients in relation with electrophysiological findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging were performed on four HSP-TCC patients and 15 age-matched healthy subjects. Voxel-wise statistical analysis...
