A wide variety of pathologies could cause spastic paraplegia. It is often a diagnostic challenge to
pinpoint its cause, especially when lacks other discriminating clinical features. Biochemical studies,
especially very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA), have invariably the ranges of estimates overlapping
for both groups of patient and healthy control. Here we present a patient with uncomplicated spastic
paraplegia who showed modest elevation of saturated VLCFA concentration. |
