    Abstract:
    Hypercoagulation and intravascular coagulation developed a nearly 12-year-old girl with a one-year history of typical anorexia. Because of extreme cachexia she had been treated with numerous drugs elsewhere, among them ACTH an infusions of amino-acids. At the end of the second week of hospitalisation acute venous thrombosis of the right leg developed which was treated with heparin. Severe disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and thrombosis of the right leg were diagnosed on admission, the previously administered heparin was neutralised and streptokinase given for 60 hours, heparin was then given for several days, and the cachexia then treated. Both the local and general condition of the patient having been cured, the emotional state has also very much improved during the last year.
