What is Spinal Atrophy Ophthalmoplegia Pyramidal Syndrome?

Spinal Atrophy Ophthalmoplegia Pyramidal Syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disease with a combination of:

  • Spinal muscular atrophy (progressive muscle weakness and wasting)
  • Ophthalmoplegia (paralysis or weakness of muscles of the eyes)
  • Pyramidal signs (e.g., spasticity, hyperreflexia, and motor impairment)

The syndrome entails destruction of lower and upper motor neurons and cranial nerves and leads to multi-system impairment. The course is usually slow but disabling.

Causes of Spinal Atrophy Ophthalmoplegia Pyramidal Syndrome

  • Genetic mutations (typically autosomal recessive)
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Neurodegenerative mechanisms
  • Protein deposition in nerve cells, abnormal

Symptoms of Spinal Atrophy Ophthalmoplegia Pyramidal Syndrome

  • Progressive weakness of muscles, particularly of limbs
  • Difficulty with movements of eyes or complete ophthalmoplegia
  • Spasticity and increased muscle tone
  • Hyperreflexia (interference in reflexes)
  • Muscle cramping or fasciculations
  • Difficulty with gait, balance, or speech

Conventional Treatment Options  of Spinal Atrophy Ophthalmoplegia Pyramidal Syndrome

There is no established cure for the syndrome. Traditional treatment is supportive and may include:

  • Physiotherapy to prevent contractures and stiffness of muscles
  • Speech therapy for speech or swallowing disorder
  • Nutrition assistance
  • Assistive devices such as walkers or braces
  • Medications to minimize spasticity (e.g., baclofen)
