  • Title: [Excessive water intake with intoxication as a manifestation of anorexia nervosa].
    Author: Gilbert B, Roche JF, Palomera S, De Lumley L.
    Journal: Ann Pediatr (Paris); 1993 Jan; 40(1):41-3. PubMed ID: 8442645.
    Abstract:
    A case of anorexia nervosa revealed by water intoxication with severe hyponatremia is reported after a search of the literature demonstrated the rarity of such cases. Pathophysiological mechanisms involved are discussed. Hospitalization in a unit for adolescents in which pediatricians and psychiatrists work together allowed both prompt treatment of metabolic disorders and early management of anorexia nervosa, which is associated with improved prognosis.
