Münchhausen syndrome by proxy is a factitious disorder, a disease produced or simulated by a parent, the mother in most cases. Clinical presentation is miscellaneous (factitious bleeding, epilepsy, apnea are frequent) and unusual. Physicians participate in the abuse by their therapeutic and diagnostical measures. It is very important to think about this diagnostic in any ambiguous situation in order to evaluate and protect the child.
代理型孟乔森综合征是一种人为性障碍,一种由父母(大多数情况下是母亲)制造或伪装出来的疾病。临床表现多种多样(人为性出血、癫痫、呼吸暂停很常见)且不寻常。医生通过其治疗和诊断措施参与到这种虐待行为中。在任何模棱两可的情况下考虑这种诊断以评估和保护儿童是非常重要的。
