Hemiparetic Primary Lateral Sclerosis: Revisiting Mills Syndrome

Case Rep Neurol. 2013 Sep 24;7(3):191-5. doi: 10.1159/000440713. eCollection 2015 Sep-Dec.

Abstract

A slowly progressive hemiparesis beginning in a single limb with evolution to the ipsilateral limb was originally described in 8 patients in 1906 by Mills. We present 5 cases of progressive hemiparetic corticospinal tract degeneration, identified by the clinical presentation and the exclusion of other etiologies using serological, imaging, and electrodiagnostic studies.

Keywords: Asymmetry; Mills syndrome; Primary lateral sclerosis; Prognosis.
