Abstract
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are phenotypically and genotypically diverse. We describe a unique case of autosomal recessive HSP (ARHSP) diagnosed at age 44 in a patient previously described as having “spinal muscular ataxia” [sic]. Predominant lower motor neuron findings and lack of clinical spasticity reduced suspicion for HSP in early life. The identified SPG11 mutation was novel and the presentation was atypical for HSP in general and SPG11 disease specifically.
