Surgical Therapy
For those who are disturbed by the appearance of lentigines, Cryosurgery may be beneficial. Due to the large number of lentigines this may prove time consuming. In case of cardiac anomalies at diagnosis, a periodic assessment should be performed as recommended by the cardiologist. Mild pulmonary valve stenosis has a good prognosis, while severe valvular dysplasia may recommend valvulotomy or valvulectomy.[1]
