Abstract :
[en] CONTEXT: Rapid onset Obesity with Hypothalamic dysfunction, Hypoventilation, Autonomic Dysregulation and Neural Tumor Syndrome (ROHHHAD(NET)) is a rare and potentially fatal disease. No specific diagnostic biomarker is currently available, making prompt diagnosis challenging. Since its first definition in 2007, a complete clinical analysis leading to specific diagnosis and follow-up recommendations is still missing. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical timeline of symptoms of ROHHAD(NET) and propose recommendations for diagnosis and follow-up. DESIGN: We conducted a systematic review of all ROHHAD(NET) case studies and report a new ROHHAD patient with early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care. METHODS: All the articles that meet the definition of ROHHAD(NET) and provide chronological clinical data were reviewed according to the PRISMA individual patient data (IPD) guidelines. The data were grouped into 7 categories: hypothalamic dysfunction, autonomic dysregulation, hypoventilation, NET, psychiatric symptoms, other clinical manifestations, outcome. RESULTS: 43 IPD were analyzed. The timeline of the disease shows rapid onset obesity followed shortly afterwards by hypothalamic dysfunction. Dysautonomia was reported at a median age of 4.95 years and hypoventilation at 5.33 years, or 2,2 years after the initial obesity. A NET was reported in 56% of the patients and 70% of these tumors were diagnosed within 2 years after initial weight gain. CONCLUSION: Since early diagnosis improves the clinical management and the prognosis in ROHHAD(NET), this diagnosis should be considered for any child with a rapid and early obesity. We propose guidance for systematic follow-up and advise multidisciplinary management with the aim of improving prognosis and life expectancy.
