Presentation
However, the focus of the book remains clinical, describing symptoms and signs at presentation, how to come to a diagnosis and methods for treatment. As with the previous edition, the book can be used in two main ways. [books.google.com]
Case 4 presented with renal and hepatic involvement at 3 months, and case 5 with developmental delay at 7 months. [ajnr.org]
The present case, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to be described from India. Four subtypes of CDGS have been delineated on the basis of clinical presentation and biochemical changes of glycosylation of serum transferrin. [indianpediatrics.net]

Two infants with a fourth type have been described by Stibler et al. 24 Both were microcephalic with severe epilepsy and delayed development, and showed dysmorphic features. [pmj.bmj.com]
Epilepsy was diagnosed in 8/23 patients and always started before age 15, mainly between 3 months and 3.5 years of life. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Physicians should suspect CDG in children who present with the following signs and symptoms: • hypotonia (low muscle tone) • failure to thrive (slow growth) • developmental delay • hepatopathy (liver disease) • coagulopathy (bleeding tendancies) • esotropia [littleladybughugs.com]

Workup
Conclusion We confirm that CDG screening should be a part of the routine workup of adolescent/adult patients with sporadic or presumably autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia, even in the absence of other suggestive signs. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Further diagnostic workup by Tf IEF analysis confirmed abnormal serum %CDT results. [clinchem.aaccjnls.org]
Treatment

Current treatment for CDG patients is supportive therapy and treatment of symptoms and sequelae. The effective therapy for CDG-Ib is oral mannose. [littleladybughugs.com]

What is the prognosis for a person with Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type Ia? Twenty percent of people with CDG-Ia die within the first year of life, often due to infection, liver problems, or heart disease. [counsyl.com]
Affected individuals should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. [rarediseases.org]
The prognosis depends on the complications, renal, hepatic, and cardiac, but affected children will be severely handicapped. Therefore treatment consists mainly of coping with the complications, and supporting the child and the family. [pmj.bmj.com]
