This is a case of a 15-year-old nonverbal, developmentally delayed boy with history of Fragile X syndrome (FXS), autistic spectrum disorder, Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), subglottic stenosis, and ongoing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), who required aggressive surgical intervention. OSA related symptoms included loud snoring, apneas, awakenings with gasping breaths, enuresis, and daytime sleepiness. The patient also had a history of behavioral problems including aggressive behavior, which led to his family and his health care providers experiencing challenges caring for him. For example, the patient's behavior made examining him very difficult and prevented ENT exam. Likewise, OSA was difficult to manage due to the patient's inability to cooperate with treatment. The OSA treatment course for this patient is briefly described below.
