✦ Synopsis

This is the first report of the association of spina bifida and eating disorders. Five patients were diagnosed rather late in the course of their illness. They all had been overweight premorbidly and had been urged to lose weight for years in order to improve their mobility. As they dieted, they experienced their weight loss as a source of power that could somehow compensate for their losses and neurologic limitations. They responded to a multidisciplinary intervention. Clinicians taking care of patients with spina bifida need to be cognizant that they may be at risk of developing an eating disorder. Such awareness should influence the quality of nutritional counseling (prevention aspect) and the clinical assessment of sudden weight loss (early intervention).
