What Is Cornelia de Lange Syndrome?
10. Treatment
Cornelia de Lange syndrome cannot be cured as things stand. However, it is usually possible to help manage the patient’s condition to help give them a better quality of life. An early diagnosis is best where possible because treating the patient’s condition from a young age will be more effective.
Mental health experts may be able to help with the patient’s behavioral problems through therapy. It will also often be necessary for physical therapy to help with motor skills and muscle development. Supplements are sometimes necessary to help overcome feeding problems, and surgery may be necessary to help treat certain abnormalities.
