How long can spastic paraplegia live?
Spastic paraplegia mainly refers to hereditary spastic paraplegia, which is a disease with genetic tendency, and the genetic law is mainly autosomal dominant inheritance. This disease is complicated, and it can be divided into simple type and complex type. Simple patients usually have mild symptoms, which occur around puberty. Typical symptoms are weakness of both lower limbs, muscle atrophy and scissor gait when walking. Such patients will not affect their intelligence, will not lead to seizures, and have a good prognosis. Patients can live for a long time, and many patients will not affect their life span. But spastic paraplegia also has complex types, about 65,438+00%. In addition to weakness of both lower limbs, it can also cause mental retardation, hearing impairment and seizures. Some of them have been sick since they were babies, so their survival time may be relatively short, maybe 5 to 65,438+00 years.
