title: [Prepuberal anorexia nervosa].
abstract: Under examination there were 17 girls with pre-pubertal nervous anorexia. In distinction from typical nervous anorexia these patients showed no definite changes of the disease stages: in particular there was no cachexia. Characteristic for the food behaviour of these patients was development of the so-called emetic forms of the reactions that did not depend on the patients' pre-morbid peculiarities. In general, pre-pubertal nervous anorexia should be regarded as a manifestation of hysterical forms of reaction. The disease is distinguished for a favourable course and a good prognosis.
