Question

A seven-year-old female is experiencing noticeable weight loss and delayed growth. Until her sixth birthday,

she had been meeting all of her developmental milestones, but she is no longer following her growth curve. Her parents have noticed a significant change in her eating habits. She is rarely hungry, and they feel like
they have to force her to eat. She has lost six pounds over the past year. They have also noticed that she
seems to be constantly thirsty and urinates often. She is generally hyperactive and has a difficult time falling
asleep and staying asleep. She has no significant past medical history except for the placement of ear tubes
in both ears when she was five, for chronic ear infections

Answer 1

Answer: A tumor in her hypothalamus

Explanation: the hypothalamus controlls hunger and thirst

Answer 2

I would say she may have an eating disorder; shes not eating enough, which is causing her body to not have enough energy to mantain basic functions like sleeping and why shes losing weight all of a sudden. It would cause her body to no longer grow properly. She may also be drinking water instead of consuming food which is why she is constantly thirsty and has to urinate so often.

im not 100% positive in my answer but i have a very stong feeling.
