Polyneuropathy is a rare but possible manifestation of severe hyperthyroidism. The patient reported here developed a polyneuropathy affecting mostly leg muscles (Basedow's paraplegia) during the course of severe thyrotoxicosis. The polyneuropathy was confirmed with sequential electrophysiological studies of nerves and muscles and by muscle biopsy. The involvement of the proximal leg muscle is also interpreted as a neuropathic or nerve-mediated process rather than a concomitant thyrotoxic myopathy.

Paraplegia, a rare complication of schistosomiasis has been reported in the literature. However, a detailed description of neurological recovery and long-term functional follow-up has not been published. In the cases presented, one patient experienced slow recovery over several years and remains nonambulatory. The other patient, infected at the same time and place, has completely recovered neurologically. Recovery was independent of the rehabilitation efforts applied. Case reports, discussion of spinal cord injury due to schistosomiasis and recommendations for treatment are presented in detail.

Japan Spastic Paraplegia Research Consortium (JASPAC), a nationwide clinical and genetic survey of patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), was started in 2006 as a project of the Research Committee for Ataxic Diseases of the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, Japan. To date (April 4, 2014), 448 indexed patients with HSP have been registered from 46 prefectures in Japan. We are now performing molecular testing of the HSP patients using Sanger sequencing (SPG4, SPG11, SPG31, and ARSACS), comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) array (SPG1, 2, 3A, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 20, 21, 31, 33, 39, 42, ABCD1, alsin, and ARSACS), and resequencing microarray (SPG1, 2, 3A, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 17, 20, 21, 31, 33, and ABCD1). In 206 Japanese families with autosomal dominant HSP, SPG4 was the most common form, accounting for 38%, followed by SPG3A (5%), SPG31 (5%), SPG10 (2%), and SPG8 (1%). In 88 patients with autosomal recessive HSP, although SPG11 was the most common form, accounting for 6%, most showed significant genetic heterogeneity. The results of molecular testing will be applicable to patients in terms of improved positive diagnosis, follow-up, and genetic counseling. JASPAC will contribute to elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying HSP, and will facilitate the development of better treatments for HSP.

Eight patients with spinal cord lesions due to decompression sickness are described. The cord lesions were in the cervical cord in four cases and in the upper dorsal cord in the other four, seven patients had incomplete lesions, one had a complete lesion, all patients were spastic. The diving details and description of the onset of paralysis are given and possible pathological processes are discussed. Prophylaxis is by adequate use of decompression stops. The most satisfactory treatment is immediate recompression.
