Presentation
Though there is presently no cure for BBSOAS, with early intervention and proper management, much can be done to improve the quality of life of those affected. [tsbvi.edu]
Strabismus and latent nystagmus are often present. Up slanting palpebral fissures and epicanthal folds have been noted. Visual acuity levels have not been reported. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
At present, this should include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as well as ABA therapy if autism is present. There are also a variety of strategies that can be implemented to support children’s learning and development. [nr2f1.org]

Anosmia
It is also characterized by retinitis pigmentosa, anosmia (loss of sense of smell), and neuropathy in the hands and feet. The condition is progressive, and symptoms may not appear until middle age. [tsbvi.edu]
Anosmia : loss of the sense of smell. (Oxford) This can be temporary, as with a cold, or it can be permanent, following certain viral infections, head injuries, and "tumors" affecting the “olfactory nerve.” [richardsonthebrain.com]
Cranial nerves Olfactory nerve Damage to the olfactory nerve can occur from a head injury, local nasal disease, or pressure from a tumour and may result in reduced sensitivity to smell or a complete loss (anosmia) on the side supplied by the nerve. [britannica.com]

Fear
Either the technician leaves, or a doctor walks in to “take a closer look” … a million questions and thoughts and fears run through your mind. [player.fm]
So I said all of that to say those of you who have fear and are it sure about pushing your little ones, NEVER GIVE UP!!! Your miracle may be just around the corner!! [imgrum.org]
Stress, fatigue, anger, fear, caffeine, and smoking may make this type of tremor worse. A tremor that does not go away over time may be a sign of a medical problem. [richardsonthebrain.com]

Grieving
Why was I grieving? A wise friend summed it up for me, “You’re grieving because you hoped you wouldn’t have to take the path with the gigantic boulder in your way…but you do. There’s no going around it. This is the path you have to take.” [sayholalola.com]

Prognosis
PROGNOSIS Prognosis depends upon which disorder, which symptoms and the severity of those symptoms. Some of the conditions we thought were uniformly progressive and fatal are not (Leigh syndrome, for example). [childneurologyfoundation.org]
