Journal Title: Indian Journal of Youth and Adolescent Health - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is uncommon in developing societies like India and the clinicians need to have a high index of suspicion to identify it. We are describing an adolescent female who presented with cardiovascular complications (bradycardia and hypotension) of AN. She was initially managed in PICU and later multidisciplinary approach was followed for treating it. This case report reminds us that adolescents having thinness can also have eating disorder.
