Abstract
To the Editor: Prevalence rates of DSM-IV binge eating disorder and intracranial aneurysm have been estimated at 1% (1) and 2%–5% (2). To our knowledge, there has been no report of comorbidity of these two conditions. We describe a case of a patient with internal carotid artery aneurysm presenting with symptoms similar to binge eating disorder.
