Abstract

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is the falsification of symptoms by parents which results in their children having unnecessary and sometimes harmful hospital procedures. We describe a case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy in a 15 month-old toddler. The diagnosis, management and outcome of this syndrome is also discussed.
