Abstract

Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often is underdiagnosed, particularly when associated with a syndrome when there are numerous and varied manifestations. However, a high index of suspicion and screening can help in early diagnosis and treatment for the same. We present a case of Laurence–Moon–Bardet–Biedl syndrome diagnosed since the age of 8 years presenting at the age of 16 years with severe OSA with good clinical recovery on therapeutic use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
