Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by infantile hypotonia, obesity, hypogonadism and mental retardation. Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome manifest a severe skin picking behavior, including rectal picking.
We report the case of a girl (12 years old) with this syndrome in whom rectal picking resulted in rectal bleeding and solitary rectal ulcer.
Caregivers of children with Prader-Willi syndrome should be aware of a potential rectal picking behavior, which results in significant bleeding. Early recognition of such a behavior helps to avoid misdiagnosis.
普拉德-威利综合征是一种遗传性疾病,其特征为婴儿期肌张力减退、肥胖、性腺功能减退和智力发育迟缓。患有普拉德-威利综合征的个体表现出严重的抠皮行为,包括抠直肠。
我们报告了一名患有该综合征的12岁女孩的病例,其抠直肠行为导致直肠出血和孤立性直肠溃疡。
普拉德-威利综合征患儿的照料者应意识到可能存在导致大量出血的抠直肠行为。早期识别这种行为有助于避免误诊。
