Encephalopathy due to Sulfite Oxidase Deficiency

Presentation

present at the time of birth (cortical atrophy, cystic leukomalacia, or basal ganglia degeneration). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Feeding Difficulties

    Occupational therapy is recommended for difficulty with fine motor skills that affect adaptive function such as feeding, grooming, dressing, and writing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eyes

Prognosis for early-onset MoCD is poor, with about 75% succumbing in infancy to secondary complications of their neurologic disability (i.e., pneumonia). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology

The diversity of reported semiologies suggests that seizures in those with typical MoCD are secondary to the diffuse cortical degeneration seen on ancillary brain imaging and not specific to the underlying pathophysiology. Developmental findings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention

Prevention of Primary Manifestations See Table 6. Surveillance In addition to regular evaluations by a metabolic specialist, the following are recommended. Table 8. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
