Anterior Capsulotomy

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: State-of-the-art treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often proves ineffective. Both disorders have common features, and anterior capsulotomy is a last-resort treatment for OCD. We document the effect of bilateral anterior capsulotomy in a patient with comorbid AN and OCD. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old woman with life-threatening, chronic, treatment-refractory AN and OCD underwent anterior capsulotomy. Psychiatric and neuropsychological evaluations at baseline and at follow-up document the severity and progress of the case. Bilateral anterior capsulotomy resulted in normalization of eating pattern and weight and a significant decrease of food-related and overall obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Psychiatric evaluations and exposure to food cues confirmed the clinical improvement that was evident immediately after surgery and sustained at 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: This case report suggests that bilateral anterior capsulotomy can be a therapeutic option for patients with comorbid AN and OCD. However, a well-controlled study is warranted.

We report a case of a geriatric male patient who presented with unique features of obsessive-compulsive disorder revolving around religious and sexual themes. Psychodynamic therapy, instead of the traditional choice of cognitive behavioural therapy, was successfully used in conjunction with pharmacotherapy, leading to an improvement in symptoms.
