Although well described in adults, pediatric OHS remains poorly defined despite the rising prevalence of childhood obesity. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial, involving obesity-related mechanical constraints, impaired ventilatory control, altered chemosensitivity, and frequent overlap with obstructive sleep apnea. Clinical manifestations in children are often subtle and nonspecific, including snoring, sleep fragmentation, daytime sleepiness, and neurocognitive impairment, frequently leading to delayed diagnosis and, in some cases, acute cardiopulmonary decompensation. Management of pediatric OHS is challenging and largely extrapolated from adult data. Positive airway pressure therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, while weight reduction is essential but difficult to achieve in pediatric populations. Pharmacological approaches such as medroxyprogesterone or acetazolamide remain experimental, with limited pediatric evidence. This review synthesizes current knowledge on pediatric OHS, focusing on epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic strategies. Increased awareness and earlier recognition are essential to prevent progression to chronic respiratory failure and long-term cardiovascular complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children13010140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,19]],"date-time":"2026-01-19T08:23:56Z","timestamp":1768811036000},"page":"140","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome in Children and Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Duilio","family":"Petrongari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7336-4292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paola","family":"Di Filippo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Cacciatore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2644-1475","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Armando","family":"Di Ludovico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5245-4843","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe Francesco","family":"Sferrazza Papa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurorehabilitation Sciences, Casa di Cura Igea, 20144 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabrina","family":"Di Pillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Chiarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6513-3160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Attanasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, University of Chieti-Pescara, Via dei Vestini n\u00b05, 66100 Chieti, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100113","DOI":"10.1016\/j.obpill.2024.100113","article-title":"Special considerations for the child with obesity: An Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) clinical practice statement (CPS) 2024","volume":"11","author":"Cuda","year":"2024","journal-title":"Obes.
