Abstract

Our patient is the first reported case of Prader-Willi syndrome(PWS) with bilateral Hutch's diverticula. We believe that hypotonia in PWS is associated with multiple bladder diverticula and vesicoureteral reflux. We conclude that PWS can be considered a possible associated syndrome in patients with multiple bladder diverticula.
