Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Radiology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Anorexia nervosa is associated with brain structure alterations.
  • Previous research has identified various neuroanatomical changes.

Observation:

  • This study examined two cases of anorexia nervosa.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans were analyzed.

Findings:

  • Unreported subcortical hyperintense changes on T2-weighted MRI were observed.
  • These specific MRI alterations have not been previously documented in anorexia nervosa literature.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest novel structural brain abnormalities in anorexia nervosa.
  • Further research is needed to understand the clinical and pathological significance of these MRI findings.
