  • Title: Extreme illness exaggeration in pediatric patients: a variant of Munchausen's by Proxy?
    Author: Masterson J, Dunworth R, Williams N.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 1988 Apr; 58(2):188-195. PubMed ID: 3369539.
    Abstract:
    Reported cases of Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome in children suggest common psychosocial features for child and family. The possibility is explored that these same features are also present in a subgroup of children with documented, but very mild, illness. Suggestions for the diagnosis and management of this problem are offered, emphasizing a multidisciplinary team approach.
