Disease Definition

🔬 Disease Definition
Herediter spastik parapleji tip 2 (SPG2), X'e bağlı resesif geçişli, alt ekstremitelerde ilerleyici spastisite ve güçsüzlükle karakterize nörodejeneratif bir hastalıktır. PLP1 gen mutasyonu sonucu miyelin protein eksikliği nedeniyle oluşur.
🧬 Causes & Risk Factors
PLP1 genindeki mutasyonlar, miyelin temel proteininin yapısını bozarak santral sinir sisteminde akson dejenerasyonuna yol açar. X'e bağlı resesif kalıtım gösterir; erkekler daha sık etkilenir.
🩺 Symptoms & Signs
Yavaş ilerleyen bacak spastisitesi, hiperrefleksi, ekstansör plantar yanıt, yürüme güçlüğü, kas güçsüzlüğü ve hafif duyu kaybı. İleri evrede üriner aciliyet ve hafif kognitif bozukluk görülebilir.
📋 Diagnostic Methods
Klinik değerlendirme, aile öyküsü, nörolojik muayene ve PLP1 gen mutasyon analizi ile tanı konur. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede serebral beyaz cevherde hafif atrofi saptanabilir.
💊 Treatment Options
Semptomatik tedavi: Baklofen, tizanidin gibi antispastik ilaçlar; fizik tedavi ve rehabilitasyon; ortez kullanımı. Botulinum toksini enjeksiyonu spastisiteyi azaltabilir. Hastalık modifiye edici tedavi yoktur.
⚠️ Complications
Kontraktürler, yürüme kaybı, düşmeye bağlı yaralanmalar, üriner enfeksiyonlar, bası yaraları ve psikososyal sorunlar.
