title: Right frontal lobe glioma presenting as anorexia nervosa: further evidence implicating dorsal anterior cingulate as an area of dysfunction.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The association of anorexia nervosa (AN) with organic brain lesions may offer insight into underlying illness neuropathology. A systematic review reported an association between AN and lesions located in the right frontal lobe. To date, no studies have studied such a case longitudinally. A case of a male presenting with AN and a frontal lobe glioma is described.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical symptoms and subsequent medical and neuropsychological investigations before and after surgery are reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The remission of ED symptoms is observed at 2 year post-surgery follow up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The features of this case are set into the context of recent conceptualizations of AN and the clinical implications for identifying individuals with underlying organic causes.
