| Abstrakt: | Objective: The results of past research have identified changes in brain structure in anorexia nervosa. We observed previously unreported MRI alterations in two cases of anorexia nervosa. Method: For both cases, we reviewed the clinical history, MRI scans and conducted a pertinent literature review. Results: The MRI brain scans of two patients with the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa revealed evidence of subcortical hyperintense changes on T2-weighted images. Discussion: No previous reports of these findings have been described in the literature on anorexia nervosa to date. Clinical and pathologic correlates associated with these brain observations in anorexia nervosa are discussed. |
