Subscribe now >> Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), also called familial spastic paralysis, refers to a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) of the legs. Symptoms of HSP may occur alone or, in more complicated forms of HSP, may occur in combination with a number of other neurological symptoms. Generally, the primary feature is severe, progressive, lower extremity spasticity. The spasticity sometimes occurs with abnormalities such as optic neuropathy, retinopathy (disease of the retina), dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control), ichthyosis (a skin disorder causing dry, rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, and deafness. There is no specific treatment to prevent, slow, or reverse HSP's progressive disability. Treatment is symptomatic. The prognosis for individuals with HSP varies greatly. Some cases are seriously disabling while others are less disabling and are compatible with a productive and full life. The majority of individuals with HSP have a normal life expectancy.

These include optic neuropathy, retinopathy (diseases of the retina), dementia, ataxia (lack of muscle control), icthyosis (a skin disorder resulting in dry, rough, scaly skin), mental retardation, peripheral neuropathy, and deafness. Diagnosis is primarily by neurological examination and testing to exclude other disorders. Specialized genetic testing and diagnosis are available at some medical centers.

The Tyler Medical Clinic Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments - List of Diseases - Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) refers to a group of degenerative spinal cord disorders characterized by gradual, progressive weakness and stiffness (spasticity) of the legs. Approximately 10,000 people in the United States are afflicted with HSP. In HSP, the motor nerves that innervate the lower limbs start to deteriorate. This results in difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness of the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging of toes while walking. Onset is generally during childhood but occasionally symptoms do not appear until later in life. The severity and progression of the disease also varies, even among families. Other symptoms include shortened Achilles tendon, leg cramps, hyperactive reflexes, and high arch feet (pes cavus). HSP is classified as either uncomplicated or complicated. Complicated HSP is rare and differs from uncomplicated HSP by the presence of other neurological disorders such as ataxia, epilepsy, optic and retinal neuropathies, mental retardation, ichthyosis and many others. There is no specific test to diagnose HSP. HSP is diagnosed only through careful elimination of other diseases that share common symptoms. Treatment aims to alleviate the symptoms. Physical therapy is important to maintain muscle strength and prevent further muscle weakness. Although the disease is progressive, rarely do patients ever become completely immobile. Assisted devices such as a cane or walker, however, are usually needed.
