Orlacchio discusses the paper of Jacinto-Scudeiro et al which examined the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia in hereditary spastic paraplegias. They analyzed affected individuals with pure and complicated forms of HSP and they detected that clinically significant oropharyngeal dysphagia was only present in complicated forms of the disease. The content of this manuscript is of high clinical and scientific importance. The dysphagia scales of this report are well-validated and widely used instruments that are easy to execute with low related costs, being suitable outcomes to answer the study question on the clinical characterization of oropharyngeal dysphagia in patients with HSP.
