Method: We present a 25-year-old man who was diagnosed earlier with anorexia nervosa, presented with an episode of dissociative state during which he was caught for shoplifting. Results: In the history, he had a few episodes of fainting spells, which are most possibly due to hypoglycemia. There was no evidence to suggest any misdeeds to support that the stealing was intentional. Discussion: Hypoglycemic attack may be common in anorexia nervosa, but this is a rare case with medico-legal implication. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 1098108X English Article |
