摘要
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The incidence of cerebral atrophy in patients with anorexia nervosa and its relation to nutritional parameters has not been considered yet. PATIENTS AND METHOD: The medical records of 55 patients were reviewed. 47 of them underwent a cerebral magnetic resonance, anthropometric and nutritional study. RESULTS: Cerebral atrophy was found in 10 (21.2%) out of the 47 patients studied. Those patients with cerebral atrophy showed an older age and greater percentage of weight loss than patients without atrophy = 0.014 and (p = 0.001) but lower triceps skinfold average (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Cerebral atrophy is common in patients with anorexia nervosa, mainly in those with a severe weight loss and lower body fat.
