Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III
MPS III, also known as Sanfilippo syndrome, is a form of mucopolysaccharidosis, an inherited metabolic disorder in which the body does not properly break down certain molecules, which progressively accumulate in different tissues, including the nervous system.
How it may present: It is usually associated with changes in behavior, sleep disturbances and difficulties in development and learning, which tend to become more noticeable over time.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when marked changes in behavior or setbacks in the child's development are observed.
Who treats it? The pediatrician assesses child development and coordinates collaboration with areas of neurology and metabolic diseases. Raising these observations with a professional helps to study them with the care they require.
