Abstract
Computerized tomographic brain scans of five patients with anorexia nervosa showed significantly more dilation of the third and lateral ventricles than in control subjects. Measurements of lean body mass suggest that these findings are secondary to the anorexic patients'' protein malnutrition.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
