Abstract
Chest pain is common among adolescents. However, chest pain among adolescents with eating disorders is unique. We report a case of an anorexic adolescent presenting to the emergency room with acute onset of chest pain due to spontaneous pneumomediastinum. The pathophysiology, etiology, and risk factors of chest pain among adolescents with anorexia nervosa are reviewed.Entities:
