Management

Management includes general supportive care, psychological and educational support. Physical therapy, management of complications due to low mineral density by nutritional support, limiting respiratory infections by vaccinations and family and vocational counseling are of value. Surgical repair for scoliosis should be considered based on progression of the curvature, pulmonary function, and bone maturity.

Medical follow-up should include developmental and nutritional support, opthalmological assessment and surveillance for scoliosis.
