原发性侧索硬化(PLS)是一种排除进行性脊髓球痉挛患者的诊断,可能是ALS临床谱的一部分。与ALS不同的是,它在5 - 10%的病例中是家族性的,PLS在成人中被描述为散发性疾病。作者报告了两例来自无血缘关系的sod1阴性家族性ALS的PLS患者。这些观察结果提供了进一步的证据,证明PLS可以在病理生理上与ALS联系起来。
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a diagnosis of exclusion in patients with progressive spinobulbar spasticity and could be part of the clinical spectrum of ALS. Unlike ALS, which is familial in 5 to 10 % of the cases, PLS has been described as a sporadic disorder in adults. The authors report two patients with PLS from unrelated SOD1-negative familial ALS families. These observations provide further evidence that PLS can be linked pathophysiologically to ALS.
