Spastic paraplegia-Paget disease of bone syndrome

What it is

Spastic paraplegia-Paget disease of bone syndrome is an extremely rare, complex form of hereditary spastic paraplegia characterized by a slowly progressive spastic paraplegia (with increased muscle tone, decreased strength in the anterior tibial muscles and hyperreflexia in the lower extremities with Babinski sign) presenting in adulthood, associated with Paget disease of the bone. Cognitive decline, dementia and myopathic changes at muscle biopsy have not been reported.

Disease

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Related health topics

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
