Hi,
I am really sorry to read about your sister’s condition. I think she could be suffering from Vanishing White Matter Disease (VWM). Symptoms of the disease generally appear in young children who may appear to develop normally. The unique feature of the disease is that the symptoms get worse slowly during the course of disease, but there are episodes of rapid deterioration following an infection or head trauma. The patient may have a partial recovery following these episodes, or the episode may lead to worsening of the symptoms and condition. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the disease. The treatment is symptomatic and is usually given to delay the progression of the disease. Please consult a neurologist for the management of the symptoms. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
