Presentation
We present a patient with a putative diagnosis of ROHHAD with complications from her sleep disordered breathing. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Case Presentation: The first case, 20-year-old female, initially presented to the pediatric endocrinology outpatient care at the age of 9.5 with precocious puberty and obesity since the age of 4 years. [abstracts.eurospe.org]
The majority of children (83.3 %) presented with rapid weight gain during early childhood, while one child presented later at 9.5 years of age. The sequence of SDB phenotypes of each patient is shown in Fig. 1. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Conclusions: Children with ROHHAD may initially present with OSA and only develop NH later as well as dysregulation of breathing during wakefulness. [mendeley.com]
In this paper, we discuss two cases with distinct clinical symptoms who presented for evaluation of obesity. Case Reports Case 1 A 7 years 4 months old girl presented with excessive weight gain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Low Back Pain
Low back pain (LBP) occurs in up to 50% of elite athletes (Curr Sports Med Rep 3(1):41–46, 2004). The majority are under 40 years of age. [link.springer.com]
Treatment of Low Back Pain/Lumbar Spine Disorders Low back pain treatment success lands squarely on having the correct diagnosis. Appropriate treatment depends upon what the doctor concludes is the cause of the low back pain. [minneapolisclinic.com]
Low back pain is very common and affects approximately 70% of people in their lifetime (1). For anyone who has experienced low back pain, it can be very disabling. But sometimes low back pain is not “spine pain.” [sierraregionalspine.com]
The most common manifestation is chronic low back pain and it may be the cause of between 10 and 30% of such cases. Table 1. [practicalpainmanagement.com]

Buttock Pain
Here we describe a case of 27-year-old woman presented with acute onset of back and left buttock pain. [kci.go.kr]
SYMPTOMS Common SI Joint Pain Symptoms Lower back pain (below L5) Sensation in lower extremity: pain, numbness, tingling, weakness Pelvis/buttock pain Hip/groin pain Feeling of leg instability (buckling, giving way) Disturbed sleep patterns due to pain [si-bone.com]
The second most common symptom of sacroiliac joint dysfunction is radiating buttock pain. This is reported as a generalized distribution of “achiness” which can radiate into the thigh. [sidysfunction.com]
The authors of this article have found that in cases in which ischial bursitis is suspected as a substantial component of the patient's buttock pain, local injection of the bursa can be performed either with local anesthetic alone (diagnostic injection [emedicine.medscape.com]
Other common symptoms include: Lower extremity numbness, tingling and weakness Pelvis / buttock pain Hip / groin pain Unilateral leg instability (buckling, giving way) Disturbed sitting patterns (unable to sit for long periods, on one side) Pain going [nynjcmd.com]

But sometimes low back pain is not “spine pain.” The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) often can be the pain generator and may be missed if all of the focus is on the lower spine. [sierraregionalspine.com]
Chapter First Online: 16 April 2010 Abstract Modern sports activities are associated with a high incidence of spine pain. Low back pain (LBP) occurs in up to 50% of elite athletes (Curr Sports Med Rep 3(1):41–46, 2004). [link.springer.com]
Enbrel is now in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic back pain from OA too....amazing drug that I hope they will soon allow for anyone with chronic spine pain and DDD. About the only thing that seems to help. [healthboards.com]

See Answer Source: iStock What is the prognosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction? The prognosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction varies depending on the cause of the dysfunction. [medicinenet.com]
Prognosis The long-term outlook is variable. Children who are diagnosed early and appropriately managed can have a relatively good quality of life. [orpha.net]
Prognosis of Symptomatic Tarlov Cysts Those who have progressive and prolonged symptoms run a risk of neurological damage, if the cysts continue to compress nerve structures. [tarlovcystfoundation.org]
Respiratory problems constitute the main predictor of poor prognosis of ROHHAD syndrome. [elsevier.es]
Etiology
Etiology Etiology is currently unknown. Genetic studies have investigated numerous genes involved in neuronal development as well as candidate genes of hypothalamic and autonomic dysfunction without identifying any specific mutation. [orpha.net]
Neither term specifies the underlying etiology. Coccyx pain can occur from local trauma or a tumor, but many cases are idiopathic, with no identifiable cause. [emedicine.medscape.com]
HCVR testing was performed due to the etiological ambiguity of the patient's hypoventilation (although a cardinal feature of ROHHAD, her hypoventilation may have only been secondary to her severe OSA). [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
The patient was screened carefully for risk factors and possible etiology (cause). Questions were asked about training, injuries, medications, menstrual cycle, and past medical history. [davisandderosa.com]
Sacroiliac joint ligament injury and subsequent laxity is a unifying etiology that explains how these mundane accidental injuries can result in a biomechanical disorder. [practicalpainmanagement.com]

However, given the lack of standardized definitions and diagnostic tests as well as epidemiological studies of ROHHAD, the evolution and spectrum of abnormalities is unclear [2, 3]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
Pathophysiology
We discuss potential pathophysiological implications as well as symptomatic treatment options. [research.tue.nl]
Our findings suggest that the striatum may be implicated in the underlying pathophysiology of IGD. KEYWORDS: Cognitive control; Color-word Stroop task; Internet gaming disorder (IGD); Striatum; Structural magnetic resonance imaging [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although the pathophysiology of this syndrome remains unclear, an autoimmune hypothesis has been proposed for ROHHAD. [elsevier.es]
The male pelvis is more densely packed which allows for faster proprioceptive overflow and muscle recruitment. [9] Differential Diagnosis PFD and LBP are difficult to diagnose because they present many challenges due to poor association between pathophysiology [physio-pedia.com]

Prevention
Keep in mind, though, that the best cure for sacroiliac dysfunction is prevention. [yogajournal.com]
Prompt treatment can prevent the injury from causing further problems. [cancercarewny.com]
