Treating dermatologic signs and symptoms greatly eased our patient's discomfort. We would suggest the use of appropriate supportive treatment for symptom management regardless of the life expectancy of the patient. As regards the diagnosis of MLD, given that in some cases the patient may present with irregular features of the condition, a genetic evaluation may be useful for accurate diagnosis. If motor function impairment is followed by dermatologic involvement, as seen in our patient and in many cases in the literature, MSD must be considered, and additional tests should be done to rule it out.
