Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patients may exhibit severe rectal picking, leading to bleeding and ulcers. Caregivers should recognize this behavior for early diagnosis and intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic disorder.
  • PWS is associated with various behavioral issues, including skin picking.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old girl with PWS presented with severe rectal picking.
  • This behavior resulted in significant rectal bleeding and a solitary rectal ulcer.

Findings:

  • Rectal picking is a serious manifestation in PWS.
  • This behavior can lead to severe gastrointestinal complications.

Implications:

  • Awareness of rectal picking in PWS is crucial for caregivers.
  • Early identification can prevent misdiagnosis and guide appropriate management.
