Abstract
An unusual form of hereditary spastic paraplegia is described. Affected females have a late-onset slowly progressive spastic paraparesis. Affected males show oligophrenia with a rapidly progressive spastic quadriplegia. The mode of inheritance is consistent with sex-linkage, with partial manifestation in female carriers.Keywords
