Diabetic retinopathy in an adolescent with Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome.
The Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome is characterized by perinatal muscular hypotonia, short stature, mental retardation, hypogonadism (cryptorchidism in males), and severe, progressive obesity. Another feature of this syndrome is the development of glucose intolerance, followed by overt juvenile diabetes mellitus of the maturity onset type (Illig, Ischymi, and Vischer, 1974).
