Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are a rare heterogeneous group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive lower extremity spasticity and weakness.

We report the second known case of a mutation in the KIF5A gene at c.610C>T presenting with HSP plus an axonal sensorimotor neuropathy.
