While stroke is already considered a nutrition-related disease, the prevalence of the broad array of disordered eating behaviors is under-reported in this disease. We describe the case of a stroke in a young woman following a recent food addiction to fatty-sweet food.
She was diagnosed with a Night-Eating-Syndrome, with a loss-of-control exclusively towards sugary carbohydrates used to manage her insomnia and distress, and her consummatory behaviors were investigated.
This case report illustrates a self-medication of a significant psychological distress by shifting from a healthy diet to an overconsumption of hyper-palatable foods, triggering an addiction disorder. The related hypertriglyceridemia, on top of chronic smoking, contributed to the development of an atherosclerotic plaque and thrombus formation.
Food addiction might be considered as an emerging stroke risk factor. We suggest it fosters the need to take into consideration addictive-like eating behaviors and associated mental disorders in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. This may be particularly relevant for the prevention of stroke in women as they are more prone to comfort their emotions with food.

尽管中风已被认为是一种与营养相关的疾病，但在这种疾病中，广泛存在的饮食失调行为的患病率却被低估了。我们描述了一例年轻女性中风的病例，该女性近期对高脂肪甜食有食物成瘾。
她被诊断为夜间进食综合征，仅对用于治疗失眠和痛苦的含糖碳水化合物失去控制，并且对其进食行为进行了调查。
该病例报告说明了一种通过从健康饮食转变为过度食用高能量食物来自我治疗严重心理困扰的情况，从而引发了成瘾障碍。相关的高甘油三酯血症，加上慢性吸烟，导致动脉粥样硬化斑块和血栓形成。
食物成瘾可能被视为一种新兴的中风危险因素。我们建议在中风的一级和二级预防中考虑类似成瘾的进食行为和相关的精神障碍。对于女性来说，这可能尤其重要，因为她们更倾向于用食物来安慰自己的情绪。
