Abstract
We report a case series of 23 patients, in whom the development of an
eating disorder appears to have been precipitated by pregnancy, the di
sorder developing either during pregnancy or in the early post-natal p
eriod. The clinical features of these patients are described and manag
ement implications discussed. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eati
