Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 17-year-old male who developed perforated appendicitis during the re-nourishment phase of treatment for an eating disorder. Topics discussed include the patient's significant weight loss and dietary practices, the medical team's management of his bradycardia and nutritional rehabilitation, and the complications that arose during hospitalization, ultimately leading to emergency surgery.
