Doctors for Canavan Disease Treatment in Bengaluru

Canavan disease is a rare inherited brain disorder that usually starts in infancy. It damages the brain’s white matter, which slows normal growth and movement. Babies may seem floppy, have trouble holding up their head, feeding, or learning skills. It gets worse over time and is caused by a missing enzyme the body needs to protect brain cells.

Canavan Disease may cause symptoms such as hypotonia, developmental delay and progressive neurological decline. Depending on the condition and its severity, delayed medical care may result in persistent symptoms, progression of the disease, or related complications.
