    Author: Houy E, Debono B, Dechelotte P, Thibaut F.
    Journal: Int J Eat Disord; 2007 Dec; 40(8):758-61. PubMed ID: 17683096.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: A causal association of brain lesion to the physiopathology of anorexia nervosa will be discussed. METHOD: The authors report the case of a female patient who developed anorexia nervosa. A cavernoma, located on the frontal side of the right sylvian, was discovered by chance after a seizure. RESULTS: Surgical treatment of the lesion resulted in complete remission of the eating disorder at two years follow-up. CONCLUSION: Evidence for organic brain contribution to anorexia nervosa is strong and can be illustrated by this case report of anorexia nervosa associated with cerebral tumour.
