Abstract

The article discusses the rare and difficult to diagnose and treat Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS). The review part of the article presents the issues of its epidemiology, genetic and clinical manifestations of PWS; the role of hypothalamic dysfunction leading to growth hormone defi ciency, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome is emphasized. The results of studies concerning speech and intellectual development delay and neuropsychiatric disorders in children with PWS are presented. On the example of clinical observation of a child with this genetic syndrome, along with known methods of treatment, modern possibilities of using innovative rehabilitation technologies, including transcranial micropolarization and bioacoustic correction, are shown.
