- Abstract
Peroneal neuropathy and polyneuropathy are displayed with a variable percentage in subjects affected by eating disorders and in particular by anorexia nervosa. Actually, little is known on features of these complications during the paediatric age. We describe the case of a female adolescent with right peroneal palsy and subclinical polyneuropathy associated with anorexia nervosa (AN). We review previous research about peroneal mononeuropathy and polyneuropathy associated with AN, and we develop a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol to help clinicians recognize and treat these disorders.
