[Acute ischemia of an arm manifesting Buerger's disease. Predisposing role of anorexia nervosa].

Peripheral vasomotor disorders, notably acrocyanosis, are frequent in anorexia nervosa, but ischaemic accidents are unknown. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with a 10-year history of anorexia nervosa, who developed acute ischaemia in one of her upper limbs. In this particular case several aetiological factors may be considered: Buerger's disease, of course, as the patient smoked and had an abnormal arteriography, but also hypercholesterolaemia, thrombocytosis and disorders of platelet aggregation.
