A complicated form of spastic paraplegia is a neurodegenerative disorder presenting as progressive
spasticity
in the bilateral lower limbs accompanied by some clinical features. The present case showed spastic paralysis and hyperreflexia in all extremities as well as lead pipe rigidity in the neck and bilateral upper extremities (R < L), decreased scores on frontal cognitive tests, a decreased accumulation of the right dorsal putamen on a DAT scan, and hypoperfusion of the bilateral frontal lobes on

ECD
single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The present case provides a new spectrum of spastic paraplegia based on the evidence of clinical scores and the findings of brain functional imaging.
