摘要

* Anorexia nervosa (AN) often presents to gastrointestinal clinics with medical symptomatology, especially constipation, but differs in important features by an atypical illness history, unsuccessful past treatments, and parental characteristics.* Failure to recognize AN as the primary cause of gastrointestinal symptoms substantially delays appropriate treatment and greatly increases medical costs while decreasing quality of life for the patient and parents.* Recognition of occult AN as the true cause of gastrointestinal symptoms is easily accomplished and results in successful referral and treatment of the AN.Anorexia nervosa (AN) resembles the 'great pretenders' of medicine in the nineteenth century, syphilis and tuberculosis, by presenting occultly as a disorder of specific organs. Many physicians fail to identify the true primary cause, AN, which can mimic in its medical consequences gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine failure, pituitary tumors, or cancer. This is especially likely when the patients are older, have an established complex medical history, and challenge a specialist to find a medical cause and treatment, resulting in ordering more laboratory tests and medical instrumentation. Everyone suffers as a result, including the patient, the family, the frustrated physician, and the National Health Service, for whom the costs of medical care of these patients are enormous and out of proportion. Remembering that AN is as much a medical as a psychological disorder, assessing the patient with more time and expertise in history taking, and referring to a psychiatric consultant when National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines for identifying AN in non-mental health settings trigger suspicions, results in good outcome of the AN, cessation of ineffective gastrointestinal treatments, and substantial savings to the National Health Service.
