An eighteen year-old woman with anorexia nervosa was admitted to hospital with acute dyspnea. There was no history of trauma to the chest and the patient denied any vomiting.
A chest radiograph was taken which showed bilateral pneumothoraces with complete collapse of both lungs.
Following insertion of bilateral chest drains the patient made a complete recovery, later having bilateral pleurectomies performed to prevent recurrence.
We discuss the evidence suggesting that the state of malnutrition that results from anorexia nervosa may in fact predispose patients to the development of pneumothoraces.
一名18岁神经性厌食症女性因急性呼吸困难入院。无胸部外伤史，患者否认有任何呕吐情况。
拍摄胸部X光片，显示双侧气胸且双肺完全萎陷。
双侧胸腔置管引流后患者完全康复，之后接受双侧胸膜切除术以预防复发。
我们探讨了相关证据，这些证据表明神经性厌食症导致的营养不良状态实际上可能使患者易患气胸。
