Overview
Gourmand syndrome is a benign eating disorder that arises as a result of a lesion to the right anterior cerebral hemisphere. It involves the cortical areas, basal ganglia, or limbic structures. Patients with gourmand syndrome are preoccupied with fine food.

- Gourmand syndrome is derived from the French word gourmand which means someone who heartily enjoys eating fine food and drink, or simply a food lover; the term “gourmet” is reserved for a food connoisseur. Although commonly not considered a pathology, gourmand eating may sometimes indicate focal brain damage.[1]
