[Mills' syndrome].

Mills' syndrome is an idiopathic, slowly progressive ascending spastic hemiparesis. Some authors consider it as a unilateral variant of progressive lateral sclerosis. Due to the rarity of the disease and the slow clinical course, this article presents a clinical case and discusses the diagnostic criteria for the syndrome.
