  • Title: Neurologic Münchausen-by-proxy syndrome.
    Author: Woody RC, Jones JG.
    Journal: South Med J; 1987 Feb; 80(2):247-8. PubMed ID: 3810224.
    Abstract:
    Two children had unexplained neurologic disease found to be induced by a parent. The Münchausen-by-proxy syndrome should be considered in children whose neurologic dysfunction is atypical and when there is significant underlying psychopathology in the family. The early recognition of neurologic Münchausen-by-proxy syndrome may prevent costly, potentially dangerous, and painful studies.
