    Journal: J Singapore Paediatr Soc; 1991; 33(1-2):59-62. PubMed ID: 1784113.
    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.
