The Woman Who Can't Eat: Rare Medical Condition Causes Involuntary Starvation
  • 9 years ago
Former model Lisa Brown suffers from an extremely rare condition that is causing her to STARVE to death. The 32-year-old weighs a mere 89lbs and cannot eat solid foods without suffering vomiting, severe pain or nausea. In 2013 Lisa was diagnosed with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS), a gastrovascular disorder that causes a pinching of her intestines making it hard to keep solid food down. She is one of only 400 documented cases worldwide. There is no cure for the condition, but Lisa continues to undergo corrective surgeries to make her life easier.
