    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Case Study

    Background:

    • Anorexia nervosa is a complex eating disorder with potential systemic complications.
    • Neurological manifestations are not commonly associated with anorexia nervosa.
    • This report focuses on an unusual neurological presentation in an anorexia nervosa patient.

    Observation:

    • A patient diagnosed with anorexia nervosa presented with symptoms of foot drop.
    • The neurological department evaluated the patient's condition.
    • Physical examination and diagnostic tests revealed bilateral peroneal nerve palsies.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited transient bilateral peroneal nerve palsies.
    • The aetiology of these neurological deficits in the context of anorexia nervosa was investigated.
    • Potential mechanisms linking anorexia nervosa to peripheral nerve dysfunction were discussed.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering neurological complications in anorexia nervosa.
    • Suggests that nutritional deficiencies in anorexia nervosa may impact peripheral nerve health.
    • Underscores the need for comprehensive patient assessment and management in eating disorders.
