[Anorexia as a symptom of cerebral aneurysm in a 14-year-old boy].
The authors present a very rare case of a child with anterior communicating artery aneurysm and symptoms of anorexia nervosa. Because of coexistence of subarachnoid haemorrhage and head trauma false diagnosis of temporal and frontal lobe contusion was initially established. Headaches, anorexia and cachexia occurred with aneurysm enlargement. Computed tomography and cerebral angiography allowed to indicate operation. After successful surgery all symptoms disappeared.
