Anorexia nervosa is one of a few mental health diagnoses that affects every organ system. Patients with AN often present with multiple secondary effects of starvation at the time of first assessment, including gastrointestinal (GI) complaints. In extreme cases, severe GI complications such as rectal prolapse may be encountered as a consequence of the illness although formal studies investigating the frequency of such occurrences are lacking. We present the case of a 16 year old female previously diagnosed with anorexia nervosa that developed a rectal prolapse as a consequence of her disease as well as a detailed literature review investigating the frequency and prevalence of such occurrences in this population.
神经性厌食症是少数会影响到所有器官系统的心理健康诊断之一。患有 AN 的患者在首次评估时经常会出现多种因饥饿引起的继发性影响,包括胃肠道 (GI) 不适。在极端情况下,由于疾病的原因,可能会出现严重的 GI 并发症,如直肠脱垂,尽管缺乏对这种情况发生频率的正式研究。我们报告了一例 16 岁女性的病例,该患者先前被诊断患有神经性厌食症,由于疾病的原因导致直肠脱垂,并详细回顾了该人群中此类情况的发生频率和流行情况。
