title: Ullrich-Turner syndrome and anorexia nervosa.
abstract: We report on a 6-year-old girl with Ullrich-Turner syndrome and anorexia nervosa. The diagnosis was made at 6 years and she became anorectic at 14 years. She had been treated with low doses of estrogen just before the onset of anorexia. In spite of remarkable decrease in food intake, her body weight was in the normal range compared to standard weight. Rohrer indices were also normal, probably due to abnormal habitus in individuals with the syndrome. The pathogenetic relationship between this disorder and the hormone treatment in the onset of anorexia nervosa is discussed.
