Abstract:
We present a case of a 46-year-old woman who is hospitalized in March of 1997 for a picture of severe mixed malnutrition. We describe the clinical history since the diagnosis of an endometrium carcinoma in 1995, treated with radiation therapy, with the aim of determining the etiology of the severe malnutrition picture, as well as the different complications she presented in the course of her hospitalization that justify the decisions made in the choice of the nutritional support.
