Werdnig-Hoffmann disease is a type of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It is the most common type of SMA and accounts for about 80% of individuals with this condition. This is the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy, and infants with this condition experience severe muscle weakness with onset before 6 months of age, and presenting symptoms include severe motor weakness, poor muscle tone, and lack of motor development. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
