This study proposes a new type of complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and some problems on a clinico-pathological classification of HSP. The present study includes three male and two female patients from two families (A and B). In the family A, four siblings (two males and two females) were affected. Spastic paraplegia developed as an initial symptom. In the family B, a man was affected with spastic paraplegia which had started at the age of eleven. His two half-sisters are normal. All parents in two pedigrees are healthy. The parents in the family B are first cousins. Clinical features: Their physical development was normal, but all of them showed mild mental retardation. Gait disturbance due to spastic paraplegia and mental deterioration developed at the age of high teens. At the age of high 20's, they became unable to walk, because of progressive spastic paraplegia and other complicated neurological impairments including pyramidal disorders in the upper limbs, generalized neurogenic muscular atrophy, sensory disturbance and bradykinesia. Some cases showed rigidity and/or spasticity. At the age of high 30's, they became bed-ridden, because of quadriplegia with generalized muscular atrophy. Three cases in the family A suffered from convulsions which started at the high 30's. Mild athetoid movement in the face and neck was observed in three cases in the family A. All patients became apathetic and indifferent at least by the age of 40. Laboratory findings and data: CT scan yielded brain atrophy and dilatation of the lateral ventricles, atrophy of the corpus callosum and hyperostosis of the cranium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
