The prognosis is most favorable when the onset of symptoms occurs after the second decade of life. [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]

A poor prognosis for patients has been suggested if there are infratentorial lesions early in the course of the illness (particularly the MCP). Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis frequently evolves into MS. [neurodiffdx.com]

This distinction is important for genetic counseling of family members and for the patient’s prognosis, in that HSP generally carries a more favorable prognosis. [2] Other components of the differential diagnosis of HSP are similar to those of PLS. [emedicine.medscape.com]
