title: Anorexia in a 14-year-old girl: why won't she eat?
abstract: This is a clinical presentation of a 14-year-old female who had weight loss and vomiting following spinal fusion surgery. Her case was complicated by social and behavioral issues. After an initial diagnosis of atypical eating disorder, an upper gastrointestinal study revealed superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Her course continued to be complicated until consistent follow-up with a nutritionist was established.
