hippocratic facies

Emaciación: para que se considere que una persona está emaciada (lo que en medicina se denomina caquexia), deben observarse indicios evidentes de que su peso corporal es extremadamente bajo y debe presentar características como un abdomen escafoide (hundido, con caderas prominentes), costillas salientes, atrofia muscular en las extremidades y, en algunos casos, facies hipocrática (aspecto del rostro hundido, con las facciones acentuadas); que una persona parezca "delgada" no es suficiente para que entre en esta categoría.
Emaciation: For an individual to be classified as emaciated (medically referred to as cachexia), there should be marked evidence of severely low body weight with features such as scaphoid abdomen (sunken with prominent hip bones), prominent ribs, wasting of the limb muscles and in some cases, Hippocratic facies (a sunken and hollow facial appearance). An individual merely appearing "thin" was insufficient to place him into this category.
