We collected 66 patients with anorexia nervosa reported in Japan so far in 1965, Comparing with that case, our 40 cases have been analyzed from the endocrinological standpoint of view. As far as our cases. are concerned, the diagnosis not only seems to us frequently to be considerably difficult but in early stage we occasionally fail to anticipate whether patient is really anorexia nervosa or not. In this connection, we would like to interpret anorexia nervosa in broader terms to mean that it includes organic disease, which is for instance the patient with pinealoma. One thing that we may be sure of is that our patients with anorexia nervosa showed low excretion of urinary gonadotropin. In other words, as for the pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa it is possible that the hypothalamus might be-significantly involved.
