Two patients with anorexia nervosa were studied. One of them showed cerebral atrophy by computed tomography (CT) of the brain. This finding has been reported previously in three cases. No other reports have been found in Spanish literature. This data could be merely a CT finding. Etiopathogenic and therapeutic evolution is discussed. Behavior modification, based in experimental psychology was used in treatment. Hypercaloric and hyperproteic feeding was also used.
