Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Pickwickian syndrome Also known as obesity hypoventilation syndrome, the Pickwickian syndrome is a bit of an anomaly amongst eponymous syndromes as it is neither named for a doctor who first described the condition nor a famous patient who had it. In The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club , originally published in 1837 by Charles Dickens , there was an extremely obese boy named Joe who could not help falling asleep during the day. A most violent and startling knocking was heard at the door; it was not an ordinary double knock, but a constant and uninterrupted succession of the loudest single raps, as if the knocker were endowed with the perpetual motion, or the person outside had forgotten to leave off. . . The object that presented itself to the eyes of the astonished clerk, was a boy - a wonderfully fat boy - habited as a serving lad, standing upright on the mat, with his eyes closed as if in sleep. He had never seen such a fat boy, in or out of a travelling caravan; and this, coupled with the calmness and repose of his appearance, so very different from what was reasonably to have been expected in the inflicter of such knock, smote him with wonder. "What's the matter" inquired the clerk.

Pickwickian Syndrome Follow Ups Post Followup Diagnostic Dilemmas FAQ Posted by Terri Griffith Bledsaw on December 27, 1998 at 08:02:03: Hi, I'm an RN in my last semester of training to become an FNP. This year, I had the unfortunate experience of knowing what it is like to the family member of a patient in CCU. My brother, age 49, was near death and had called me to be with him. He was suffering the effects of years of morbid obesity and I had been aware of the S/Sx of sleep apnea and had tried to get him into a sleep study for years. He is the typical Pickwickian Syndrome patient. I'd like some sources of information to let him read about the syndrome, but it's not easy to locate on the net. Would you have any specific references? In layman's terms, please. He is a very inteligent man, but when it comes to paying attention to what he needs to do to change, it has to be brief, direct and to the point. Thanks.
