Marchiafava- Bignami disease is a rare condition characterized by demyelination of corpus callosum due to alcohol or malnutrition. Here we report a young lady who, due to her religious beliefs had stopped taking food and presented with neuropsychiatric manifestations. Neuroimaging was suggestive of Marchiafava Bignami disease and with adequate nutritional and thiamine therapy she had dramatic improvement clinically and had near complete resolution of lesions in neuroimaging.
