Abstract
Enzyme replacement therapy has not only significantly improved motor outcome and survival in patients with classic infantile Pompe disease, but also revealed previously unrecognized central nervous system (CNS) involvement. In this international study, involving patients from the Netherlands, Italy, Argentina, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Taiwan, we investigated whether epilepsy should be considered part of the CNS phenotype.
