COACH SYNDROME

Course overview

COACH is an acronym for cerebellar vermis hypo/aplasia, oligophrenia (i.e., developmental delay/mental retardation), congenital ataxia (i.e., lack of coordination of muscle movement), coloboma (i.e., a hole or gap in one of the structures of the eye that results from incomplete closure of the choroid fissure before birth), and congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF). This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of CS, including its etiology, signs, symptoms, clinical presentation, and treatment, and to aid in caring for patients with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
