The authors present a case exhibiting transient eating disorder in early childhood, alongside discussion of some considerations relevant to this age group. The subject was a boy aged 5 years 6 months at first presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Weight Loss

  In general, behaviors and attitudes indicating that weight loss, dieting, and control of food are becoming primary concerns. [web.archive.org]

  The patient's upper gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss were found to be secondary to gastric outlet obstruction from a gastric adenocarcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  WARNING SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA Emotional and behavioral Dramatic weight loss Dresses in layers to hide weight loss or stay warm Is preoccupied with weight, food, calories, fat grams, and dieting Refuses to eat certain foods, progressing [nationaleatingdisorders.org]

• Weight Gain

  Results: A 42‐year‐old woman with a 27‐year history of AN had involuntary weight gain when she became hyperthyroid, but lost weight after treatment of the hyperthyroidism. [doi.org]

  She developed a lethal (atrioventricular block) arrhythmia, which improved after weight gain. This case suggests that energy depletion might be involved in lethal arrhythmia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by weight loss (or lack of appropriate weight gain in growing children); difficulties maintaining an appropriate body weight for height, age, and stature; and, in many individuals, distorted body image [nationaleatingdisorders.org]

• Weakness

  Muscle loss and weakness. Severe dehydration, which can result in kidney failure. Fainting, fatigue, and overall weakness. Dry hair and skin; hair loss is common. [web.archive.org]

  Anorexia can lead to health problems caused by undernutrition and low body weight, such as: low blood pressure slow or irregular heartbeats feeling tired, weak, dizzy, or faint constipation and bloating irregular periods weak bones delayed puberty and [kidshealth.org]

• Poor Growth

  A 15-y-old adolescent male presented with poor growth, low weight, abdominal pain and yellow pigmentation. Further bizarre multi-system symptomatology resulted in a protracted admission with multiple investigations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Palpitations

  They also have palpitations, high body temperature and a tendency to get tired easily. On the other hand, hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid gland does not actively produce thyroid hormones to keep the body running normally. [pna.gov.ph]

• Osteoporosis

  Osteoporosis has been reported in anorexia nervosa (AN), but not in other eating disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Reduction of bone density (osteoporosis), which results in dry, brittle bones. Muscle loss and weakness. Severe dehydration, which can result in kidney failure. Fainting, fatigue, and overall weakness. Dry hair and skin; hair loss is common. [web.archive.org]

• Denial

  Denial of hunger. Development of food rituals (e.g. eating foods in certain orders, excessive chewing, rearranging food on a plate). Consistent excuses to avoid mealtimes or situations involving food. [web.archive.org]

  Disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight. [nationaleatingdisorders.org]

  This case was further complicated by the well-defined history of anorexia nervosa (binge-purge type), major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, migraine headache, and the initial denial of cannabis use. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  An eating disorder can go unnoticed for a significant amount of time, and often, if it is recognized, denial usually follows, leaving the disorder still untreated. [allianceforeatingdisorders.com]

  Lower extremity pain secondary to tabes is described as shooting, in contrast to pain secondary to pain due to diabetic and other peripheral neuropathies, which is often described as burning (Swartz, 1990). [web.archive.org]

• Kidney Failure

  Severe dehydration, which can result in kidney failure. Fainting, fatigue, and overall weakness. Dry hair and skin; hair loss is common. [web.archive.org]

  Some of the major health risks resulting from eating disorders include: heart failure osteoporosis infertility kidney failure depressed immune system pneumonia liver disease exercise-related injuries such as stress fractures death We need to be aware [uhs.berkeley.edu]

  Severe, prolonged dehydration can lead to kidney failure. Inadequate nutrition can decrease the number of certain types of blood cells. Anemia develops when there are too few red blood cells or too little iron in the diet. [nationaleatingdisorders.org]

  […] might not have kidney failure — many other things can cause them. [kidshealth.org]

The medical workup, treatment and outcome are described. Using cognitive-behavioural therapy, clomipramine and enteral nutrition, weight gain and disappearance of restrictive and obsessive-compulsive behaviours were obtained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The diagnostic workup typically includes complete medical and psychosocial history and follows a rational and formulaic approach to the diagnosis. [en.wikipedia.org]

[…] reported in individuals with depression. 88, 89 Fatigue There is now good evidence to show not only that fatigue can be a symptom of CD, but also that it is a common clinical presentation. 90 – 93 Serological screening for CD is now recommended in the workup [doi.org]

Self‐help treatments can be used as a "stand‐alone" treatment or in conjunction with other treatments (both psychological and pharmacological). [doi.org]

Family treatment-systemic and insight oriented individual psychotherapy are probably efficacious treatments for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Eating disorders are potentially life threatening and have not lost their relatively poor prognosis in the last decades. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
