A case of a male infant presenting in the neonatal period is described to highlight the morbidity of Prader-Willi. His features included marked hypotonia, feeding difficulty, hypogonadism and typically dysmorphic facies. Marked improvement in muscle tone was noted by 5 months of age. Emphasis is placed on its neonatal presentation and possible aetiologic mechanisms. The natural history is also noted.
