ROHHAD in 9-year-old boy - clinical case.

We present the case of a 9-year-old male patient suspected of ROHHAD due to weight gain since early childhood, decreased height velocity, hypoventilation, hypodipsia, excessive perspiration and pyrexial episodes. Presented symptoms, laboratory and imaging findings meet the criteria of ROHHAD syndrome. ROHHAD should be considered in differential diagnosis for obesity in children. Early identification of the disease prevents potential complications specific for the syndrome, in particular a life-threatening cardio-pulmonary arrest. Patients with ROHHAD require regular follow-up by a multidisciplinary team. PMID: 26884306 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
