Özet
Anoreksiya nervoza (AN), kişinin fiziksel bütünlüğünü tehdit edecek şekilde yememe ve kilo vermeye çalışma ile karakterize olan bir yeme bozukluğudur. Anoreksiya nervozada, mortalite riskinin arttığı iyi bilinmektedir. Anoreksiya nervozada ölümler medikal komplikasyonlar ve/veya intihar neticesinde olmaktadır. Bununla beraber, hastalığın seyri boyunca ölüm riskinin zamanlaması belirsizdir. Anoreksiya nervozada mortalite için bazı prediktörler tanımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, AN'ya bağlı medikal komplikasyonlar nedeniyle ölen 15 yaşında kız olgunun sunulması planlanmıştır.
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder, which is characterized by the avoidance of eating in a way that threatens the physical integrity of an individual, and trying to lose weight. It is known that the risk of mortality is high in AN. Death occurs as a results of medical complications and/or suicide. On the other hand, the exact time point of mortality becoming a risk during the progression of the disease progression is not defined. Certain predictors have been defined for mortality in AN. In this study, our aim was to present a case of a 15-year old female patient, who had died due to medical complications related to AN.
