Abstract
Prader-Willi Syndrome is a congenital multisystem disorder, characterized by a typical dysmorphism, mental retardation, hyperphagia due to insatiable appetite, and resultant morbid obesity. Psychiatric symptoms include obsessions and temper tantrums. Method: Pharmacotherapy is experimental with a few reports of successful fluoxetine treatment. Results: We report an aggravation in the food-related symptoms and a consequent weight gain in an adolescent with Prader-Willi syndrome, who was treated with fluvoxamine and fluoxetine.
