NIH Rare Diseases: Primary lateral sclerosis is a type of motor neuron disease, where nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement breakdown and die. In primary lateral sclerosis only the upper motor neurons in the brain are affected. Symptoms often begin with problems in the legs (e.g., weakness, stiffness, spasticity, and balance problems), but may also start with hand clumsiness and changes in speech. The symptoms worsen gradually over time, however people with this condition have a normal life expectancy. Progression of symptoms varies from person to person, some people retain the ability to walk without assistance, others eventually require assistive devices such as canes or wheelchairs. Diagnosis requires extensive testing to exclude other diseases. Treatment may include baclofen and tizanidine to reduce spasticity, quinine or phenytoin to reduce cramps, as well as physical and speech therapy as required.30
MalaCards: Lateral Sclerosis, also known as primary lateral sclerosis, is related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and neuronitis. An important gene associated with Lateral Sclerosis is ALS2 (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 (juvenile)), and among its related pathways are Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Neuroscience. The compounds calcium and oxygen have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, brain and cortex, and related mouse phenotypes are cellular and nervous system. NINDS: Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare neuromuscular disease with slowly progressive weakness in voluntary muscle movement. PLS belongs to a group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases. PLS affects the upper motor neurons (also called corticospinal neurons) in the arms, legs, and face. 31 |
