Riley-Day Syndrome Treatment

Protection from injury is critical. Problems are treated as they occur, including treatment of aspiration pneumonia, anticonvulsant therapy if seizures are present, and liquid tears and bethanechol to prevent drying of eyes.

Anti-emetics may be used to control vomiting. Postural hypotension can be managed with increased fluid and salt intake, caffeine, and waist-high elastic stockings.

An annual spine exam is needed to monitor for scoliosis, which can be treated with braces or surgery.
