Skeletal myopathy, although foreseeable in severe malnutrition, has been rarely reported in patients with anorexia nervosa. We report a case of oculo-oropharyngeal myopathy mimicking myasthenia in a 42-year-old woman with an history of anorexia nervosa, completely reversible after refeeding with carbohydrate diet, mainly chocolate. Nutritional myopathies are not well known and therefore rarely looked for in patients with anorexia nervosa.
