| Abstract |
|
A wide variety of pathologies could cause spastic paraplegia. It is often a diagnostic challenge to pinpoint its cause, especially when lacks other discriminating clinical features.

Here we present a patient with uncomplicated spastic paraplegia who showed modest elevation of saturated VLCFA concentration. |
