Abstract

We report a 13-year-old female with rapid-onset obesity, hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD) syndrome, panhypopituitarism, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, who developed rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury, two weeks after switching from lovastatin to rosuvastatin. She had been on lovastatin for eight years without any adverse effects.

Keywords: Pediatric obesity; ROHHAD syndrome; Rhabdomyolysis; Rosuvastatin; Secondary dyslipidemia.
