Investigation/Screening |
Therapeutic options |
Rapid obesity |
Initial clinical evaluation, brain MRI, complete endocrine workup to exclude other differential diagnosis of precautious puberty, and evaluation of metabolic disturbance/year |
Body mass index stabilization using strict calorie intake and regular exercise. Antidiabetic drugs and antilipid drugs |
Hypothalamic dysfunction |
Hormonal investigation/Year for hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, growth hormone deficiency, puberty delay, and adrenalin insufficiency |
Specific hormonal substitution |
Hypoventilation |
Polysomnography with nocturnal gas exchange/year if negative in the first five years, and prevention of respiratory infection |
Artificial ventilation and influenza vaccine/year |
Autonomic dysregulation |
ECG, echocardiography, 72-hour Holter/year, blood pressure/three months, gastroenterology screening/year for celiac disease, food intolerance and transient dysregulation, and ophthalmologic evaluation/year |
Cardiac pacemaker, antihypertensive drugs, gluten-free diet, lactose-free diet, and drugs for transient control |
Neural Tumor |
Screening to detect neuroendocrine tumors, and chest and abdominal MRI/year |
In case of neuroendocrine tumor: staging and treatment |
Neurologic Impact |
Electroencephalography in case of seizure, and evaluation for behavioral disturbances. |
Antiepileptic drugs and antipsychotic drugs |
Genetic considerations |
Exclude a PHOX2B mutation and genetic obesity |
