The FSP Page - Familial Spastic Paraparesis Information about the spinal cord disorder known as Familial Spastic Paraparesis(FSP), also known as hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) or StrumpellLorrain. http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/2847/
Extractions: Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Hereditary spastic paraplegia is an inherited spinal cord disorder characterized by gradual development of muscle weakness, spasms, and stiffness of the legs. Symptoms may be first noticed in early childhood, or at any age though adulthood. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. The terms "Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia" (HSP) and "Familial Spastic Paraparesis" (FSP) are the commonly used names in the United States for this disorder. For those in Europe, "Strumpell-Lorrain" is probably more common. These terms all refer to the same set of disorders. Other names associated with this disease are Strümpell-Lorrain familial spasmodic paraplegia, Strümpell's familial paraplegia, spasmodic infantile paraplegia, spastic congenital paraplegia, spastic spinal familial paralysis, hereditary spastic paraparesis, and familial spastic paraplegia.

Extractions: Familial spastic paraparesis/paraplegia (FSP) and hereditary spastic paraparesis/paraplegia (HSP) are names applied to a group of degenerative neurological disorders characterized by specific walking problems. Physicians are now applying the diagnosis of hereditary spastic paraparesis/ paraplegia to patients whose leg muscles have symptoms of spasticity (stiffness and/or spasms), paraparesis (weakness), or paraplegia (paralysis), especially when similar symptoms occur in other members of the patients family due to inherited DNA changes (hereditary symptoms). Currently physicians use the familial spastic paraparesis/ paraplegia diagnosis for cases with similar symptoms that may result from family members exposure to shared environmental factors, rather than to genetic causes. FSP/HSP may vary from family to family and patient to patient.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> 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.

Extractions: The association of hereditary spastic paraplegia and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy in the same family Münife Müftüoðlu , M.D., Ý. Özcan Ertürk , M.D., Cemal Özcan , M.D., Hakan Ekmekçi , M.D. The association of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and sensory neuropathies have been reported in a number of cases. But it is rare to detect both entities seperately in different members of the same family. In the present study, we report clinical and electrophysiological findings of three members of a family. In two of the siblings the clinical picture was indistinguishable from "pure" hereditary spastic paraplegia, but electrophysiological studies revealed a predominantly sensory polyneuropathy. In the third case (the mother of the siblings), the clinical diagnosis was consistent with hereditary motor sensory neuropathy type 2, which was also confirmed by electrophysiological studies. We believe that, with the further genetic reevaluations, the hereditary spastic paraplegia with sensory abnormalities may take a new place in the classification of hereditary motor and sensory polyneuropathies, as a distinct entity.[Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center 2(2):193-195,1995] Key Words : Hereditary spastic paraplegia, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy
