Hereditary spastic paraplegia associated with thin corpus callosum

Abstract: -Autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (AR-HSP) associated with thin corpus callosum was recently described in Japan, and most families were linked to chromosome 15q13-15. We report two patients from two different Brazilian families with progressive gait disturbance starting at the second decade of life, spastic paraparesis, and mental deterioration. One patient presented cerebellar ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head of both patients showed a thin corpus callosum. AR-HSP with a th… Show more

“…It was predominant in the posterior aspect of the corpus callosum (Fig 1B) and was associated with white matter changes in the posterior corona radiata and peritrigonal areas, in contrast to the cases described by Teive et al 20 and Somasundaram et al, 28 where the thinning was mainly along the anterior aspect of the corpus callosum and associated with frontal lobe atrophy. Nevertheless, in all our patients, there was a relationship between the location and severity of white matter changes and the atrophy of the corpus callosum, suggestive of an atrophic process of the corpus callosum.…”
