Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The X-linked genetic Fabry disease causes multiorgan lesions due to intracellular storage of the substrate globotriaosylceramide. Neurological involvement ranges from painful, small fiber neuropathy to cerebrovascular disorders to multifocal aggressive forms. Disease identification through proper differential diagnosis and timely assessment of organ damage should guide a careful treatment planning. Mainstay treatment, include enzyme replacement and support therapy. Neurologists have a pivotal role in early instrumental and clinical detection of organ damage. A panel of experts has developed a set of consensus recommendations to guide the approach of neurologists to Fabry disease. |
