P325: Vanishing white matter disease: An early warning sign for post-infectious neurological regression
Abstract
The currently recommended management primarily involves minimizing known precipitating factors, such as infections and physical trauma, to reduce the risk of acute, life-threatening deterioration. This approach is supplemented by integrating multidisciplinary strategies to optimize the patient’s motor function recovery, strengthen cognitive abilities, and provide the family with appropriate genetic counseling. Crucially, the precise molecular diagnosis allows for anticipating potential neurological complications and establishing preventative strategies for ongoing patient monitoring.
