Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare cause of obesity. With the rising incidence of obesity, clinicians need to be aware of genetic causes of obesity and when to suspect them. A case of PWS, which was diagnosed in adulthood, has been discussed. This case is special because of lack of history of floppiness in infancy and predominance behavioral problems.
普拉德-威利综合征（PWS）是导致肥胖的罕见原因。随着肥胖发病率的上升，临床医生需要了解肥胖的遗传原因以及何时怀疑存在此类原因。本文讨论了一例成年期确诊的普拉德-威利综合征病例。该病例较为特殊，因为患者在婴儿期没有肌张力低下病史，且主要表现为行为问题。
