Abstract:

Introduction: The compulsive craving and consumption of non-food substances, known as pica, is a well-documented symptom associated with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Olfactory cravings associated with IDA are a recently described phenomenon known as desiderosmia. In our practice we observed a subset of patients with IDA who report specific tactile cravings associated with mastication. Methods: This study included patients from the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) and Ankara Training and Research Hospital (Ankara, Turkey) Hematology practices who self-reported tactile mastication cravings during in

Introduction: Pica is an unusual condition where patients develop cravings for non-nutritive substances that can cause significant health risks. We report three patients with pica, which presented with three different clinical presentations and were found to have iron deficiency anaemia with underlying cause as pica. Case Presentation: We describe three patients who presented with symptoms of pica. The first patient is a 25-year-old man who had obsessive compulsive symptoms associated with daily ingestion of dust,sand and ice. The second patient is a 9-year-old girl who presented with abdomina

Abstract BACKGROUND:In recent years,we saw four patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in our clinical practices who developed a compulsive craving for certain odors including rubber tires, gasoline, Pine-Sol® (a popular household alcohol ethoxylate-based cleaning agent), and "musty odor of the basement." Such behavior resolved after treatment of IDA, and recurred in a patient whose IDA relapsed. This resembled pica, a craving to eat non-nutritive items, which is commonly associated with IDA. Because we had never heard of or read about this phenomenon, we reviewed the English medical liter

A pregnant woman in her 20s presented with an excessive desire to smell a specific household cleaning product. She was found to have severe iron deficiency anaemia and her symptoms resolved following intravenous iron supplementation. She described symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath and olfactory cravings. The specific scent could not be replicated with other smells and the woman had to significantly modify her lifestyle to accommodate the excessive desire. She had a similar experience during her prior pregnancy which resolved after the correction of severe iron deficiency anaemia. This u

Abstract Abstract 2283 Background: Pica and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are associated with iron depletion and deficiency. Pica refers to the compulsive craving for and persistent consumption of non-nutritive substances. Pagophagia, the pathological consumption of ice, is a specific pica strongly associated with iron deficiency. RLS is a neurological movement disorder characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the lower extremities, with a compelling urge to move the extremities to relieve the discomfort. Primary RLS is a central nervous system disorder; however, secondary RLS may be caused

Abstract:

Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common nutrient disorder worldwide. It is defined pica as eating non-nutritive, non-food substances over a period of at least one month. Different types of pica have been reported in the literature. Although the exact etiology of pica is unknown, pica has been related to iron and other mineral/nutritional deficiencies. Although a relationship between iron-deficiency anemia and pica has been reported in the literature, no such association has been reported with eating clove so far. Therefore, I present the case of an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with iron-deficie

Background: Pica is characterized as repeatedly eating or chewing of a non-nutritious substance including, but not limited to ice, clay and dirt, starch, raw pasta, chalk, coal, paint, or paper.

Intentional ingestion of fired, lead-glazed pottery has not been heretofore described as a manifestation of pica or cause of lead poisoning. However, this practice must be considered, especially in Hispanic mothers.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Xylobezoar is indeed a rare condition associated with xylophagia, characterized by varying degrees of intestinal obstruction due to the entrapment of undigested paper in the gastrointestinal tract. Xylophagia is a form of pica that primarily affects children from low socioeconomic backgrounds with mental conditions and nutritional deficiencies. It is rarely seen in adults. Medical and endoscopic interventions are often challenging in these patients, and surgical intervention is often required. We present an endoscopically challenging case of pancolonic obstruction due to toilet paper

Abstract:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune mediated chronic inflammatory enteropathy primarily affecting the small intestine, occurring in genetically predisposed individuals and caused by a permanent sensitivity to ingest gluten cereals. Pica is the compulsive eating of nonnutritive substances, and may be either a cause or a result of iron deficiency, with the latter being a possible presenting sign of Celiac Disease. We report the case of an 18-year-old female patient with history of depression and pica disorder. Laboratory investigations, serology testing and duodenal biopsy showed arguments of celiac
