Abstract

Context: Retrospective studies suggest that adolescents with craniopharygnioma and hypothalamic obesity have increased sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Objectives: The objectives of this study were to compare the prevalence of SDB in adolescents with craniopharyngioma-related obesity compared with body mass index (BMI)-matched controls and to explore possible relationships between SDB, insulin resistance, and adipocytokines.
