What Is Cornelia de Lange Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Sensory Problems
Some patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome will also find that their sensory organs don’t develop as they should do. This can mean that their eyesight and sense of hearing are impaired, perhaps severely so. The severity of the impairment can range considerably from patient to patient.
Vision and hearing problems can make things a lot harder for a patient who is already going to be experiencing difficulties. The impairments can be treated in some cases, which is important as it can help them to communicate with and understand others. Hearing and sight impairments can also contribute to intellectual development problems, however.
