Management of Pompe disease

Because of the multisystemic and heterogeneous nature of Pompe disease, patients should receive multidisciplinary attention, including consultation with specialists in this disorder as necessary.

Individual management decisions will largely depend upon a comprehensive and regular evaluation of the severity and progression of the disease in that patient. Early intervention may enhance the benefits of treatment.

Treatment of Pompe disease can be classed as general symptomatic or corrective treatment and therapy specifically targeted at the underlying cause.
