  • Title: Munchausen syndrome presenting as hemophilia: a convenient and economical "steal" of disease and treatment.
    Author: Ayass M, Bussing R, Mehta P.
    Journal: Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 1993; 10(3):241-4. PubMed ID: 8217539.
    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.
