A case of hereditary spastic paraplegia with demyelinating polyneuropathy.

چکیده
The hereditary spastic paraplegias are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterised by lower limb spasticity. Although most cases represent a ‘pure’ form, variants with additional ‘complicating’ features have been documented [1]. We report a patient with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) having a demyelinating form of polyneuropathy which has not been previously associated with this condition.

Acute Aortic Occlusion Presenting as Flaccid Paraplegia
A 67-year-old male known to be hypertensive and diabetic had a sudden onset of severe low back pain and flaccid paraplegia with no sensory level or bladder affection and the distal pulsations were felt. Acute compressive myelopathy was excluded by MRI of the dorsal and lumbar spines. The nerve conduction study and CSF analysis was suggestive of acute demyelinating polyneuropathy. The patient de...
متن کاملMotor and functional evaluation of patients with spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy (SPOAN).
Spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy (SPOAN) is an autosomal recessive complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia, which is clinically defined by congenital optic atrophy, infancy-onset progressive spastic paraplegia and peripheral neuropathy. In this study, which included 61 individuals (age 5-72 years, 42 females) affected by SPOAN, a comprehensive motor and functional eva...

Not recognising the presence of decreased excitability may give rise to a seemingly low compound muscle action potential, which may lead erroneously to the conclusion of conduction block. To quantify decreased electrical excitability, stimulation-response curves and the current needed to achieve 90% of the maximal compound muscle action potential amplitude, i90, were obtained in 17 healthy cont...
متن کاملClinical progression and genetic analysis in hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum in spastic gait gene 11 (SPG11).
BACKGROUND Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) with thin corpus callosum (CC) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder classified as a complicated form of spastic paraplegia. Some patients with HSP with thin CC have previously been described in Japanese families, and the genetic locus was linked to chromosome 15q13-15. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to further clinically and genetically characterize...
متن کاملA case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy presented with unilateral ptosis
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy is an autoimmune disease with progressive and relapsing courses. The main clinical presentations are diffuse deep tendon hyporeflexia or areflexia and symmetric proximal-distal muscles weakness. Myasthenia gravis is also an immune mediated disease with fluctuating ocular and bulbar symptoms and sometimes weakness. Although both myasthenia grav...
