Abstract
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is an ultrarare upper motor neuron syndrome with a prognosis unique from classical ALS. The study of PLS is complicated by its rarity and the difficulty distinguishing PLS from ALS. We present data from a 1‐year prospective follow‐up study on PLS and efforts to distinguish it from ALS.
