Catatonia, a neuropsychiatric syndrome, has been increasingly recognized as a possible complication of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). There is limited research surrounding catatonia and its sequelae in PWS. Given the scarcity and severity of catatonia in pediatric age, there is a need to expand on the available literature. We present a case of hyperactive catatonia in an adolescent with PWS. After obtaining a thorough history, we followed her progression from motor symptoms to developing psychotic features. Although her presentation required multiple doses of lorazepam, it was shown to be consistently effective in treating her catatonia during her hospital stay.
紧张症是一种神经精神综合征，越来越被认为是普拉德-威利综合征（PWS）的一种可能并发症。关于PWS中紧张症及其后遗症的研究有限。鉴于儿童期紧张症的稀缺性和严重性，有必要扩充现有文献。我们报告一例患有PWS的青少年的多动性紧张症病例。在获取详尽病史后，我们跟踪了她从运动症状发展到出现精神病性特征的过程。尽管她的症状需要多次使用劳拉西泮，但在住院期间，该药被证明对治疗她的紧张症始终有效。
