Urogenital Malformations Associated with Anorexia Nervosa

KATHERINE A. HALMI M.D.1 and CONSTANTINE RIGAS 2

1 Resident in Psychiatry (Assistant Professor in Psychiatry), University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240, U.S.A.
2 Constantine Rigas M.D. Resident in Psychiatry, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240, U.S.A.

Five cases of urogenital anomalies, including one of sex chromatin negative Turner's syndrome, are described in a series of 59 anorexia nervosa patients. The frequency of these abnormalities is much higher than expected on the basis of coincidence. Examination for malformations of the urogenital organs and karyotype studies seem advisable in all patients with anorexia nervosa.
