Abstract
The case about to be described showed during the 18 months when she was under close observation certain remarkable pathological endocrine features. These, viewed together and in retrospect, throw considerable light on the relationship between pituitary function and so-called anorexia nervosa, and introduce a broader conception of the latter somewhat misleading designation.Keywords
