Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) has been used to treat children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP), and its beneficial effect on quality of life and ambulation has been confirmed in long-term follow-up studies. However, the role of SDR in the treatment of spasticity in patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and related disorders is not well-established. Here, we report the first patient with the ZC4H2 variant who underwent SDR to treat spastic paraplegia. Abnormal gait was discovered during a regular checkup at the age of 3 years and 9 months, and she was diagnosed with spastic paraplegia. She was heterozygous for the ZC4H2 variant and underwent SDR at the age of 5 years and 11 months, which alleviated the spasticity. The patient underwent inpatient postoperative rehabilitation for 4 months and continued outpatient physiotherapy after discharge. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 score and maximum walking speed decreased transiently 1 month postoperatively, but gradually recovered, and continuously improved 6 months postoperatively. SDR and postoperative intensive rehabilitation were effective in improving motor and walking functions up to 6 months after surgery, although long-term follow-up is needed to draw conclusions.
