9. Diagnosis
The facial features that can result from Cornelia de Lange syndrome are often enough to give medical professionals a good idea of what the patient’s condition is. Patients will also likely be examined more closely to check for other abnormalities that might present a threat to their health.
Because the symptoms can be more subtle, Cornelia de Lange syndrome can sometimes go undiagnosed. In many cases, a problem might not be recognized until the patient starts to display aggressive behavior and/or learning disabilities. Once a diagnosis is achieved, medical professionals can begin to try and treat the patient’s symptoms to at least help manage the condition.
