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 for bariatric surgery. Anesthetic considerations are reviewed highlighting perioperative complications associated with this syndrome.
