Hereditary spastic paraplegia
- 2.
- 3. Definition: is a groupof inherited diseases whose main feature is progressive stiffness and contraction (spasticity) in the lower limbs , as a result of damage to or dysfunction of the nerves.
- 4. 1-10 in 100,000people worldwide have HSP Can affect people of all ages , but average age at onset is 24
- 5. 1 2 3 4 • Hereditary spasticparesis • Familial spastic paraplegia • Strumpell-Lorrain disease: first described 1883-1888 • French Settlement
- 7. Based on symptoms Pure HSP Affects thelegs only More common Bladder symptoms may occur eg “urgency” Complicated HSP Spastic paraplegia with a variety of other problems Other neurological problems eg ataxia (poor balance) Intellectual disability , dementia, extrapyramidal signs,Seizures

- 10. Based on patient's age atonset Type I <35 years Type II >35 years Spasticity>>weakness muscle weakness urinary symptoms sensory loss spasticity
- 11. Based on associatedgene (Genetics) Neuronal degeneration mutations at specific genes Genetic mapping has identified at least 52 different HSP loci, designated SPG 1 through 52 Different genetic types of HSP usually cannot be distinguished by clinical and neuroimaging parameters alone
- 12. SPG1 (Spastic Paraplegia1) Masa syndrome Gareis-Mason syndrome Crash syndrome Mutation in Gene >>>>> L1 or L1CAM protein Transmembrane protein >>>> neurite outgrowth guidance, neuronal cell migration and survival Locus = Xq28 X-Linked
- 13. SPG2 Mutation inGene >>>>> Proteolipid protein 1(PLP1) Transmembrane protein >>>> leukodystrophy and dysmyelination, resulting in axonal degeneration Locus = Xq22 X-Linked
- 14. SPG4 Mutation inGene SPAST >>>>> Spastin protein Microtubule-severing protein >>> membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis Locus = 2p22–p21 Autosomal dominant
- 15. SPG15 Kjellin syndrome Mutation in Gene >>>>> ZFYVE26 progressive stiffness and increased reflexes in the leg muscles as well as retinal degeneration Locus =14q24.1 Autosomal recessive
- 16. SPG17 Silver syndrome Mutation in Gene BSCL2 >>>>> Seipin protein Phenotype overlapping with distal spinal muscular atrophy type VA Locus = 11q13 Autosomal dominant
- 17. SPG18 Mutation inGene >>>>> Erlin-2 Characterised by joint contractures and intellectual disability Locus = 8p11.23 Autosomalrecessive

- 21. In Neuron Level Axonal Degeneration •Lesser Extent
- 23. Clinical Features Symptomsdepend on the type of HSP inherited Main feature >>> progressive spasticity in the lower limbs, due to pyramidal tract dysfunction In the lower extremities, spasticity is increased at the hamstrings, quadriceps and ankles Weakness is most notable at the iliopsoas , tibialis anterior, hamstring muscles difficulty in walking, decreased vibratory sense at the ankles, and paresthesia In lower extremities hyperreflexia, brisk reflexes, extensor plantar reflexes
- 24. Normal reflex duringwalking Abnormal reflex during Gait/walking
- 25. additional symptomsin complicated form include: peripheral neuropathy, amyotrophy, ata xia, mentalretardation, ichthyosis, epile psy,optic neuropathy, dementia, deafne ss, or problems with speech, swallowing or breathing
- 26. Diagnosis Genetic Instrumental testing Tests Examination leg musclesBrain and spine MRI Family feel stiff Rule out other history causes brisk reflexes any History relatives Complains affected? eg .walking difficulty
- 27. Genetic testing • Diagnostic -Person is affected with symptoms - Wants to know the cause • Predictive - Person not affected with symptoms - Has a relative eg parent with HSP
- 28. Differential Diagnosis • • • • • • • Childhood onset Diplegiccerebral palsy Structural (Chiari malformation, atlanto-axial subluxation) Leucodystrophy (eg, Krabbe’s) Metabolic (arginase defi ciency, abetalipoproteinaemia) Levodopa-responsive dystonia Infection (myelitis) Multiple sclerosis • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Adult onset Cervical spine degenerative disease Multiple sclerosis Motor neuron disease Neoplasm (primary/secondary spinal tumour, parasagittal meningioma) Infection (myelitis) Dural arteriovenous malformation Chiari malformation Adrenoleucodystrophy Hereditary spastic paraplegia Spinocerebellar ataxias Vitamin defi ciency (B12 and E) Lathyrism Levodopa-responsive dystonia Infection (syphilis, human T-cell leukaemia virus 1, HIV) Copper deficiency
- 29. Treatment No specific treatmentis known that would prevent, slow, or reverse HSP Available therapies mainly consist of symptomatic medical management and promoting physical and emotional well-being

- 31. • Baclofen– a voluntarymuscle relaxant to relax muscles and reduce tone • Tizanidine – to treat nocturnal or intermittent spasms • Diazepam and Clonazepam – to decrease intensity of spasms • Oxybutynin chloride– an involuntary muscle relaxant and spasmolytic agent, used to reduce spasticity of the bladder in patients with bladder control problems • Tolterodine tartate – an involuntary muscle relaxant and spasmolytic agent, used to reduce spasticity of the bladder in patients with bladder control problems • Botulinu toxin – to reduce muscle overactivity • Antidepressants (such as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors) – for patients experiencing clinical depression
- 32. Physical Therapy Torestore and maintain the ability to move To reduce muscle tone To maintain or improve range of motion and mobility To increase strength and coordination To prevent complications, such as frozen joints, contractures, or bedsores.
