Abstract

Munchausen's syndrome and Munchausen's syndrome by proxy (MSBP) can cause many conditions, including bleeding problems, seizures, failure to thrive and others. We report here an unusual case in which a mother presented to the hospital for her hemophiliac son's failure to thrive, subsequently for her own self-inflected mutilating wounds, and finally for self-induced simulation of her son's hemophiliac bleeding and arthritic complications.
