Rud Syndrome: Follow-up
Updated: Nov 30, 2007
Follow-up
Further Outpatient Care
- Neurologic follow-up care for seizure management is indicated.
Inpatient & Outpatient Medications
- Anticonvulsants and keratolytics are the inpatient and outpatient medications.
Prognosis
- The heterogeneity of the clinical findings in patients with Rud syndrome makes predicting the prognosis impossible. The prognosis varies depending on the type and the severity of associated findings.
Patient Education
- Patients may seek genetic counseling as appropriate.
Miscellaneous
Medicolegal Pitfalls
- Failure to identify and properly treat associated findings is a pitfall.
