The association of anorexia nervosa (AN) with organic brain lesions may offer insight into underlying illness neuropathology. A systematic review reported an association between AN and lesions located in the right frontal lobe. To date, no studies have studied such a case longitudinally. A case of a male presenting with AN and a frontal lobe glioma is described.
The clinical symptoms and subsequent medical and neuropsychological investigations before and after surgery are reviewed.
The remission of ED symptoms is observed at 2 year post-surgery follow up.
The features of this case are set into the context of recent conceptualizations of AN and the clinical implications for identifying individuals with underlying organic causes.
神经性厌食症(AN)与器质性脑损伤的关联可能为潜在疾病神经病理学提供深入了解。一项系统评价报告称,AN 与位于右额叶的病变之间存在关联。迄今为止,尚无研究对这种病例进行纵向研究。本文描述了一例男性患者表现为 AN 和额叶胶质瘤。
回顾了手术前后的临床症状及随后的医学和神经心理学检查。
术后 2 年随访时观察到 ED 症状缓解。
该病例的特征与最近对 AN 的概念化以及识别潜在器质性原因个体的临床意义相结合。
