A causal association of brain lesion to the physiopathology of anorexia nervosa will be discussed.
The authors report the case of a female patient who developed anorexia nervosa. A cavernoma, located on the frontal side of the right sylvian, was discovered by chance after a seizure.
Surgical treatment of the lesion resulted in complete remission of the eating disorder at two years follow-up.
Evidence for organic brain contribution to anorexia nervosa is strong and can be illustrated by this case report of anorexia nervosa associated with cerebral tumour.
探讨脑损伤与神经性厌食症生理病理学之间的因果关系。
作者报告了一名患神经性厌食症的女性患者的病例。在一次癫痫发作后偶然发现了位于右侧大脑外侧裂额叶侧的一个海绵状血管瘤。
对该病变进行手术治疗后，在两年的随访中饮食失调完全缓解。
器质性脑病变对神经性厌食症有影响的证据很充分，本例与脑肿瘤相关的神经性厌食症病例报告即可说明这一点。
