Abstract
본 논문에서 소개된 환자는 전형적인 PWS 증상인 섭식 장애, 타액분비감소, 지적장애, 비만과 같은 특성이 관찰되었다. 전신마취 하에서 적극적인 치과 치료를 시행하였고 보호자에게 비만 및 치아 우식을 예방하기 위해 탄수화물과 당분 섭취를 제한하는 식습관에 대한 교육을 시행하였다. 환자의 내원 횟수를 늘려 치과 치료를 위한 전신마취까지 발전하지 않도록 정기적인 관리가 필요하다. Prader-will syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder displayed with short stature and behavioral problems. The major manifestation is hyperphagia and obesity but there is no known effective drug that can solve this problem. This article presents a case report of a 3-year 9-month old girl affected with PWS syndrome treated under general anesthesia due to lack of cooperation and multiple caries. The dentist should work as a member of the multidisciplinary medical team. Careful long term follow up is required to prevent dental caries and periodontal diseases as well as maintain good oral hygiene. A strict diet control should also be encouraged.
