What is hereditary spastic paraplegia disease?
Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a general term for a group of rare inherited disorders that cause weakness and stiffness in the leg muscles. Symptoms gradually get worse over time. It’s also known as familial spastic paraparesis or Strümpell-Lorrain syndrome.
How is hereditary spastic paraplegia diagnosed?
Brain MRI abnormalities, such as a thin corpus callosum, may be seen in some of the complicated forms of HSP. Several genetic mutations have been identified which underlie various forms of HSP, and specialized genetic testing and diagnosis are available at some medical centers.
Is hereditary spastic paraplegia a neuromuscular disease?
The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a large group of inherited neurologic disorders that share the primary symptom of difficulty walking due to muscle weakness and muscle tightness (spasticity) in the legs. There are more than 80 different genetic types of HSP.

What is the prognosis of hereditary spastic paraplegia?
In hereditary spastic paraplegia, upper motor neurons slowly degenerate so the muscles do not receive the correct messages, causing progressive spasticity (increased muscle tone/stiffness) and weakness of the legs. This leads to difficulty walking. As degeneration continues, symptoms worsen. [1]
What are the goals of genetic counseling for hereditary spastic paraplegia?
Goal 3. Consider the differential diagnosis of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Goal 4. Provide an evaluation strategy to identify the genetic cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia in a proband. Goal 5. Inform genetic counseling of family members of a proband with hereditary spastic paraplegia.
