Abstract
The authors report a case of a 17 year old young man, who entered our hospital for a severe iron lack anemia reported to ice cubes ingestion (Pagophagia). Such cases are reported in the literature. Usually, Pagophagia is a compulsive eating (Pica) caused by iron deficiency. Pagophagia could improve non hematologic symptoms of iron deficiency such as stomatitis and glossitis.Entities:
