For patients who have experienced a stroke, the Stroke Program at Cedars-Sinai provides a multidisciplinary treatment approach through a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient. [cedars-sinai.edu]

Treatment Early diagnosis and long-term treatment with a medication called chenodeoxycholic acid improves neurological symptoms and contributes to a better prognosis. [geneticdisordersuk.org]

Prognosis Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent progressive accumulation of cholestanol and cholesterol: disease progression may be halted and in some cases reversed. Treated patients may have a normal lifespan. [orpha.net]

Conclusion: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis commonly manifests with bilateral swollen tendoachilles, which is actually a part of systemic pathology with poor prognosis. [jocr.co.in]

Behavioral/personality disturbance in childhood or adolescence, especially when accompanied by learning difficulties, should therefore lead to further investigation to exclude CTX, as early diagnosis and treatment is critical for prognosis. [nature.com]

Prognosis If cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is untreated, life expectancy is into the fifth and sixth decades; however, confirmed deaths have been reported as early as age 4 months. This is a progressive and terminal disease if left untreated. [emedicine.medscape.com]
