Anorexia nervosa is a disease with high prevalence in adolescents and carries the highest mortality of any psychiatric disorder.
We present a case of a 17-year-old female presenting to the emergency department with bradycardia that was subsequently diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. We also review the clinical features, diagnosis, complications, and emergency department management of this disease.
Patients with anorexia may present with multiple medical complaints, and it is imperative that the emergency physician be familiar with the syndrome so as to correctly identify and treat patients with this disease.
神经性厌食症是一种在青少年中高发的疾病,在所有精神疾病中死亡率最高。
我们报告一例17岁女性因心动过缓就诊于急诊科,随后被诊断为神经性厌食症。我们还回顾了该疾病的临床特征、诊断、并发症及急诊科处理。
神经性厌食症患者可能出现多种医学主诉,急诊医生必须熟悉该综合征,以便正确识别和治疗此类疾病患者。
