[A 13-year-old-girl with Pickwickian syndrome and Asperger syndrome].
We reported a 13-year-old girl with Pickwickian syndrome and Asperger syndrome. The chief complaint on admission was apnea attacks during sleep. She had severe obesity. Whole night polysomnography showed that the apnea attacks occurred during light and REM sleep, and that slow wave sleep and REM sleep volumes were decreased. These findings were the same as those on adult cases. Weight control was very difficult because of Asperger syndrome.
