Case report highlights cognitive impairment and obesity in a 12-year-old with Prader-Willi syndrome, indicating critical need for early diagnosis and management.
A BSTRACT Prader–Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by hypotonia, hyperphagia, and developmental delay. We report a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with excessive hunger, obesity, and cognitive impairment. Molecular analysis revealed a deletion of the paternal chromosomes 15q11-13, confirming the diagnosis of PWS. Our case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in improving the quality of life for individuals with PWS.
