Abstract
Anorexia nervosa in prepubescent patients is a serious pathology, which is often misunderstood, not exceptional and on the increase. Our study focuses on 13 case histories of children between eight and 12 years of age who met Tanner's first criterion (absence of puberty) and presented a substantial weight loss and a morbid fear of gaining weight. More specifically, we studied in our sample the general epidemiological data, the clinical features related to development (effect on growth, refusal of hydratation), depressive comorbidity and a rather deteriorating evolution for the majority of our patients. Our results were compared with the data from the literature.Keywords
