Spontaneous pneumomediastinum: a complication of anorexia nervosa?

R J Fergusson et al. Postgrad Med J. 1985 Sep.

We describe a patient with anorexia nervosa who developed a spontaneous pneumomediastinum. Five other patients have been reported with this association, suggesting that tissue changes in anorexia nervosa may predispose to this condition.
