Abstract | UNLABELLED: CONCLUSIONS: (1) baseline cervical spine evaluation and regular neurological assessment should be performed in all MPS VI patients, (2) detailed neurological observation should be conducted in patients treated with ERT, especially in the period of improvement in the osteoarticular system, as ERT fails to prevent cervical myelopathy and (3) surgical decompression is required and in order to achieve a satisfying outcome it might be crucial to perform surgery at an early age.
