About Hyperphagia in Prader-Willi syndrome.

It primarily affects the neuroendocrine and metabolic systems across pediatric and adult populations, emerging typically after an initial infantile phase of hypotonia and poor feeding.

Pathophysiologically driven by hypothalamic dysfunction—including disrupted signaling pathways regulating satiety and prolonged elevations in orexigenic hormones such as ghrelin—the condition is characterized by an insatiable hunger, profound lack of normal fullness, persistent food preoccupation, and compulsive food-seeking behaviors.

Without external environmental restrictions, this unrelenting drive to eat leads to rapid-onset hyperphagic obesity and life-threatening metabolic and cardiopulmonary complications.
