Venous thromboembolism in anorexia nervosa: four cases from a specialized unit. Indication for thromboprophylaxis?

The four presented cases suggest that VTE during re-nutrition in AN may be an overlooked risk which may not be sufficiently addressed in the literature. General recommendations should not be issued on the basis of case reports; however, we want to raise awareness and call for studies to identify the VTE risk and appropriate thromboprophylaxis in AN patients.
