| spastic paraplegia, hereditary | An insidiously progressive inherited disorder (probably autosomal dominant) characterised by distal limb weakness.

| spastic pseuodoparalysis | Better known as creutzfeldt-jakob disease (cjd). A dementing disease of the brain. It is believed due to an unconventional (not a bacteria or virus), transmissible agent called a prion. Symptoms of cjd include forgetfulness, nervousness, jerky trembling hand movements, unsteady gait, muscle spasms, chronic dementia, balance disorder, and loss of facial expression. Cjd is classified as a spongiform encephalopathy. most cases occur randomly (sporadically), but inherited forms exist. There is neither treatment nor cure for cjd. Other names for cjd include creutzfeldt-jakob syndrome and jakob-creutzfeldt disease. (12 Dec 1998) |

| spastic syndrome in cattle | A disease of the nervous system manifested by spastic contractions of the muscles of one or both hind legs, most common in old bulls; the cramps usually become more frequent and severe, eventually resulting in decreasing the usefulness of the animal. (05 Mar 2000) |
