Cyclic Pyranopterin Monophosphate (cPMP) Replacement
Replacement therapy providing the molybdenum cofactor essential for sulfite oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase function, addressing the underlying biochemical defect.
Dietary counseling and physical activity plan
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Additional treatment options
Neurological and Ophthalmological Surveillance
Regular neurological examinations and ophthalmologic assessments to monitor for signs of brain atrophy, seizures, or lens dislocation progression.
monitoringSulfur-Restricted Diet
Reduction of dietary sulfur-containing amino acids (methionine, cysteine) to minimize formation of toxic sulfite compounds.
dietaryAnticonvulsant Therapy
Seizure management with appropriate antiepileptic medications when seizures occur as part of the neurological involvement.
medicationEnvironmental Sulfite Avoidance
Avoidance of foods and environments with high sulfite content including preserved foods, wine, and sulfur-containing products.
