Summary

Rapid-onset obesity, hypoventilation, hypothalamic dysfunction, and autonomic dysfunction is an increasingly common diagnosis in patients who are being seen at tertiary care children’s hospitals. We present two cases of anesthetics from the authors’ own experience in addition to a comprehensive review of the disorder and anesthetic implications.
