Abstract

Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by hypotonia, obesity, short stature, mental retardation, hyperphagia, hypogonadism and low life expectancy.

We describe the case of a 31-year-old female patient with Prader-Willi syndrome scheduled forbariatric surgery. Anesthetic considerations are reviewed highlighting perioperative complications associated with this syndrome.
