| Abstract (English): | Anorexia nervosa is a severe restriction of food intake that can sometimes be associated to purging behaviour. Beyond the difficulty of maintaining an adequate body mass index, people affected by this disease suffer a constant fear of gaining weight, a severe distortion of body image, and a poor introspection of the gravity of the disease. Anorexia is associated with other comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders, which makes anorexia a complex disease with difficulties in treatment. In this article, different cases of three surgery techniques are discussed. The surgery seeks to operate the limbic system and frontostriatal circuit, which are believed to be implied in the body image perception. The results of the reported cases are encouraging and promise to be a new alternative in the treatment of this chronic disease. However, it is still required more research and the development of new technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | La anorexia nerviosa se caracteriza por una restricción estricta de la dieta, atracones o conductas purgativas. No puede mantener la masa corporal normal y existe un temor constante a aumentar de peso, distorsión de imagen corporal y pobre introspección de su enfermedad. Ocurre de manera simultánea con trastornos afectivos, trastornos de ansiedad y de personalidad. Es una enfermedad compleja de difícil manejo. Este artículo presenta el reporte de casos de pacientes tratados en tres instituciones de México, Bélgica y Canadá con técnicas quirúrgicas diferentes que buscan alterar el sistema límbico y el circuito frontoestriatal que, se sabe, están implicados en la percepción de la imagen corporal y las propiedades placenteras de los alimentos y en el trastorno depresivo y obsesivo-compulsivo. Los resultados de los casos clínicos son satisfactorios y son una alternativa en el tratamiento de la anorexia nerviosa. Se requiere aún más investigación y el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías.
