This case study details a pregnancy with severe anorexia nervosa, resulting in a low-birth-weight infant despite medical support. It highlights the critical relationship between anorexia nervosa and pregnancy outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Anorexia nervosa is a severe eating disorder with significant health risks.
  • Pregnancy in underweight patients presents unique challenges for both mother and fetus.

Observation:

  • A patient with severe anorexia nervosa conceived spontaneously, weighing 33 kg (BMI 14.4) at 1.51 m.
  • Despite intensive nutritional and psychological support, she experienced progressive weight loss throughout pregnancy.
  • At 33 weeks gestation, she weighed 28 kg and delivered a preterm infant weighing 1130 g via induced labor.

Findings:

  • The pregnancy was complicated by the patient's severe malnutrition and continued weight loss.
  • The infant was born significantly underweight (hypotrophic) for gestational age.

  • This case underscores the profound impact of anorexia nervosa on pregnancy viability and fetal development.

    • Implications:

    • Management of anorexia nervosa during pregnancy requires multidisciplinary, intensive interventions.
    • Early identification and specialized care are crucial for improving outcomes in pregnant patients with eating disorders.
    • Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies for anorexia nervosa in pregnant populations.
