Objective: Anorexia nervosa among Arabian girls seems to be rare and pregnancy in condition of extreme underweight seems to be rare as well. Method: We report the case of a 19‐year‐old Arabian girl living in Italy who referred to an Eating Disorder Unit for her anorexic condition. Results: She arrived for a consultation when she was at her 33rd week of pregnancy at a Body Mass Index lower than 14. Conclusion: The present case aims to underline the need of medical and psychological attention to pregnancy in anorexia nervosa cases. © 2008 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 2009
