Abstract

We reported the case of a 13-year-old anorectic girl with epileptic seizures who showed marked favorable responses to sodium valproate and clonazepam. These two anticonvulsants were effective not only for controlling her epileptic seizures, but also against anorexia nervosa itself. The mechanism of their action to anorexia nervosa is unknown, but repeated EEGs and a trial of sodium valproate with or without clonazepam may be useful in evaluating the diverse pathologies of anorexia nervosa which seems to be a heterogeneous clinical entity.
