Hepatic myelopathy with spastic paraparesis

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2005
Progressive myelopathy is a rare neurological complication of chronic liver disease with portal hypertension and there is no special diagnostic tool for hepatic myelopathy. Neuropathological studies of the patients with hepatic myelopathy have demonstrated demyelination of the lateral corticospinal tracts with various degree of axonal loss ...

Hereditary spastic paraparesis and psychosis

European Journal of Neurology, 2006
Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is characterized by progressive spasticity and weakness of the legs with or without additional abnormalities. Reports of psychiatric disorders in patients with HSP are limited to mood disturbances rather than to psychosis. We had noted significant psychotic illness in several patients recruited to a survey of HSP in

Tropical spastic paraparesis in colombia

Annals of Neurology, 1988
A high-incidence focus of tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) occurs on the South Pacific coast of Colombia. Of 55 patients studied, 52 (94.5%) had IgG antibodies to the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid. Control groups did not show similar high positivity.

Spastic paraparesis and sensory neuropathy

Muscle & Nerve, 1992
A 12-year-old developed a slowly progressive spastic gait at the age of 3. A marked loss of pain and temperature sensations led to a mutilating acropathy starting at age 5. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed a symmetric, axonal, predominantly sensory neuropathy, and magnetic resonance imaging ruled out compression of spinal cord.

No association of spastic paraparesis genes in PSEN1 Alzheimer's disease with spastic paraparesis

NeuroReport, 2007
Familial Alzheimer's disease due to presenilin 1 (PSEN1) mutations shows considerable phenotypic variability with differences in neuropathology and neurological symptoms. Spastic paraparesis is a common neurological phenotype associated with Alzheimer's disease arising from PSEN1 mutations.

The Neurourology of Tropical Spastic Paraparesis

British Journal of Urology, 1991
Summary— We report the clinical features, urodynamic results and neurophysiological findings in 6 patients with urinary symptoms related to tropical spastic paraplegia. The widespread nature of the pathological changes within the nervous system result in a complex variety of urodynamic and neurophysiological ...

Chapter 17 Hereditary spastic paraparesis

2007
Publisher Summary Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) represents a group of conditions in which the prominent feature is a progressive spastic paraparesis. The most useful way of classifying HSP is genetically to one of the current HSP gene loci. There are currently 28 spastic paraplegia (SPG) loci.

Immunological studies in tropical spastic paraparesis

Annals of Neurology, 1990
AbstractTropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) and other chronic‐progressive myelopathies have been clearly associated with increased serum and cerebrospinal fluid antibody titers to human T‐lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV‐I). However, little is known about the cellular immune function in TSP. In the present study, activated T lymphocytes were found in the

Tropical spastic paraparesis in an Aborigine

Medical Journal of Australia, 1993
To present the first documented case of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis in the Australian population.A 31-year-old Aboriginal man with an 18-month history of progressive weakness of the legs was found to have an upper motor neurone weakness of all limbs associated with sphincteric ...

Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis with Sensory Neuropathy

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1970
SUMMARYThe authors report the clinical and laboratory assessment of a family in which several members are involved with a neurological disorder characterized by varying degrees of spastic paraparesis associated with sensory deficits. The literature regarding this unusual disorder, which in this family appears to be autosomal dominant, is reviewed and ...
