title: [Gelatinous transformation of the bone marrow and acute hepatitis in a woman suffering from anorexia nervosa].
abstract: Anorexia nervosa can be a life-threatening eating disorder when complicated with electrolyte disturbance, gelatinous transformation of the bone marrow or starvation induced acute hepatitis. We report a 43-year-old woman suffering from anorexia nervosa for more than 25 years, who was admitted in intensive care unit for a fluctuating level of consciousness related to starvation-induced acute hepatitis. Gelatinous transformation of the bone marrow was also diagnosed. Those two entities are rare and, to our knowledge, have not been previously reported jointly in anorexia nervosa.
