NERY, Fabiano Gonçalves; TEIXEIRA-JR, Antônio Lúcio; MIRANDA, Gislene Valadares  y  DAKER, Maurício Viotti. Anorexia nervosa and pregnancy: a case report. Rev. Bras. Psiquiatr. [online]. 2002, vol.24, n.4, pp. 186-188. ISSN 1516-4446.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-44462002000400008.

The authors describe a case of an eighteen years-old adolescent who developed hyperemesis gravidarum followed by anorexia nervosa during her first pregnancy. Her body mass index (BMI) achieved 14.3 Kg/m². The symptoms remitted after the premature delivery of the newborn. Although anorexia nervosa is uncommon in pregnancy, its diagnosis is important in view of the risks for the health of mother and fetus.
