ABSTRACT
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a syndrome characterized in babies by small birth weight, hypogonadism, flaccid muscle tone, and skeletal abnormalities, and in older children by intense food cravings leading to morbid obesity, hypoxemia, and right heart failure. To our knowledge, PWS has not been associated with coronary artery dissection. We report a 17-year-old woman with PWS who suffered an inferior myocardial infarction secondary to dissection of her right coronary artery.
