To determine whether rates and patterns of progression differ among Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) patients. 50 patients fulfilling clinical criteria for PLS were classified on initial presentation into 3 subtypes: ascending, multifocal, and sporadic paraparesis (PLS-A, PLS-M or PLS-SP). Patients were surveyed annually. Measures of movement speed, clinical rating scales, and transcranial magnetic stimulation were re-assessed at 1–5 years intervals for spread to additional body regions and progression of severity within affected regions. Forty-seven patients continued to fulfill criteria for PLS over a mean follow-up of 6.6 years, with a mean disease duration > 14 years. PLS-A patients had more predictable progression to additional body regions. Severity progressed faster in newly affected regions followed by stabilization in PLS-A or PLS-M subtypes. Clinical progression in PLS does not occur steadily, but has periods of faster decline upon spreading to a newly affected region. Classification of PLS patients by subtype is more relevant to predicting the spread of disease, but not progression of severity.
