Results: She experienced an adequate weight and height increase and remission of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, and reestablished adequate social and academic functioning.
Conclusion: After a follow-up of almost 2 years, she had had her menarche, continued her positive eating habits, and had not relapsed into OCD.
