Abstract

The clinical presentation of pervasive refusal syndrome is marked by a refusal to eat, walk, talk, firm resistance and an aggressive refusal to accept help and care. The management of patients with this syndrome is physically and emotionally draining for caregivers. The quality of the relationship can be quickly affected as it is so unusual and singular. Training, communication and support from the team are essential to be able to continue to provide compassionate care.
