Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a heterogeneous group of genetically determined diseases, characterised by progressive spastic paraparesis of the lower limbs, associated with degeneration of the corticospinal tract and the posterior column of the spinal cord. HSP occurs worldwide and the estimated prevalence is about 1–10/100,000, depending on the geographic localisation. More than 70 genes responsible for HSP have been identified to date, and reports of new potentially pathogenic variants appear regularly. All possible patterns of inheritance (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked and mitochondrial) have been described in families of HSP patients. Among the autosomal recessive forms of HSP (AR-HSP), hereditary spastic paraplegia type 11 is the most common one. We present a patient with diagnosed HSP 11, with a typical clinical picture and characteristic features in additional diagnostic tests.
