Cranial computed tomography findings in anorexia nervosa

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1977 Oct;1(4):410-4. doi: 10.1097/00004728-197710000-00005.

Abstract

Four patients with anorexia nervosa were studied by cranial computed tomography (CT). Three of the four demonstrated abnormal enlargement of cortical sulci and subarachnoid spaces as compared with an age-matched control group. The relationship of this finding to established neuropathological changes in anorexia nervosa is discussed.
