Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome manifest severe skin picking behavior. We report three patients with this syndrome in whom an extension of this behavior to rectal picking resulted in significant lower gastrointestinal bleeding and anorectal disease. The recognition of this behavior is important to avoid misdiagnosing inflammatory bowel disease in this group of patients.

Abstract Few studies have examined the relationship between heart rate and self-injurious behavior (SIB) shown by individuals with IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities). In this single-case study, we simultaneously monitored heart rate and activity levels during a functional analysis of severe skin picking behavior exhibited by a young man with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Results of the functional analysis indicated that the participant's skin picking was maintained by automatic reinforcement. A within-session analysis of the data indicated that skin picking bouts resulted in an increase in heart rate, suggesting a positive- automatic reinforcement function. These data indicate that inclusion of heart rate and activity-level monitoring during a functional analysis may provide important additional information concerning the determinants of SIB.
