Highlights
- •SPG54 is a rare complicated type of hereditary spastic paraplegia caused by mutations in the DDHD2 gene.
- •Affected individuals exhibit delayed psychomotor development, cognitive impairment and early-onset progressive spasticity.
- •We report a novel DDHD2 mutation that extends the genotype and phenotype spectrum of DDHD2/SPG54.
- •MRI typically shows thinning of splenium of corpus callosum that gives a striking resemblance to a "broken wishbone"
