Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type V or complicated form of spastic paraplegia?

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN) are a heterogeneous group of peripheral nervous system disorders affecting motor and sensory function. HMSN type V is characterized by the combination of peroneal muscular atrophy with pyramidal features. Inheritance is mostly autosomal dominant but autosomal recessive forms have been described as well. However, no gene responsible for the disease has been identified so far. In complicated forms of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) pyramidal tract dysfunction can be accompagnied by peripheral neuropathy as well as other neurological or non-neurological deficits.…
