INTRODUCTION: SPOAN (spastic paraplegia, optic atrophy, and neuropathy) syndrome is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder identified in a large consanguineous Brazilian family.
METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with SPOAN syndrome (20 women), aged 4-58 years, underwent nerve conduction studies (NCS) of the median, ulnar, tibial, and fibular nerves, and sensory NCS of the median, ulnar, radial, sural, and superficial fibular nerves.
RESULTS: Sensory nerve action potentials were absent in the lower limbs and absent in >80% of upper limbs. Motor NCS had reduced amplitudes and borderline velocities in the upper limbs and absent compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) in the lower limbs.
CONCLUSIONS: The neuropathy in SPOAN syndrome is a severe, early-onset sensory-motor axonal polyneuropathy. Normal NCS seem to rule-out this condition.
