Necrotizing colitis (NC) represents a severe, although rare, complication in patients with anorexia nervosa.
We report the only case of NC with good prognosis in a severely malnourished AN patient.
Available patient records, imaging, and biochemical data were evaluated.
This case represents an unusual gastrointestinal complication and underlines the important clinical role that Parenteral Nutrition (PN) has for some selected very malnourished AN patients. The severe starvation may compromise the normal function of gastrointestinal tract and it can also lead to an incomplete tolerance of enteral refeeding thus making PN required to reach the nutritional rehabilitation.
坏死性结肠炎（NC）是厌食症患者一种严重但罕见的并发症。
我们报告一例严重营养不良的 AN 患者发生 NC 的病例，该患者预后良好。
评估了可用的患者记录、影像学和生化数据。
该病例代表了一种不常见的胃肠道并发症，并强调了肠外营养（PN）对某些严重营养不良的 AN 患者具有重要的临床作用。严重的饥饿可能会影响胃肠道的正常功能，也可能导致不完全耐受肠内喂养，从而需要 PN 来实现营养康复。
