Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index M Munchausen Syndrome Search Munchausen Syndrome Munchausen Syndrome refers to the bizarre psychiatric disorder in which patients fabricate symptoms and signs of disease in order to gain attention and sympathy. It was named for the mythical Baron von Munchausen, a teller of fabulous tall tales. In pediatrics, this syndrome appears as the equally bizarre and dangerous in which a parent, usually the mother, deliberately makes her child sick by administering laxatives, emetics, baking soda, insulin, or fecal matter. The parent secretly sabotages medical treatments and creates complications by various subterfuges.

Découvert en 1977 par Sir Roy Meadow (St James University Hospital). Il est impossible de quantifier son importance réelle mais aux USA 1000 cas annuels sont répertoriés grace à l'autopise systématique des morts subites du nourrisson..Sir Ria Meadow estime avoir du faire face à 400 cas. En France, il n'existe pas de consensus sur la réalité du SMP et bon nombre de pédiatres et de psychiatres ne peuvent imaginer des mères infligeant de telles souffrances à leur enfant et refusent d'admettre avoir été ainsi mystéfiés. Il reste toutefois trés difficile de faire la différence entre un enfant qui s'est étouffé tout seul sous sa couette de celui qui est mort parce qu'on a appuyé un oreiller sur son visage. La vidéo surveillance reste le moyen diagnostic le plus rapide mais il est contraire au droit français qui demande de prévenir les mères le l'existence du matériel de suveillance. Des réticences semblent retarder sont utilisation. Il faut toutefois mettre en exergue que le but n'est pas de mettre en accusation une mère manifestement malade mais de sauver des enfants et il justifie totalement et sans arrière pensée l'utilisation de la vidéo-surveillance.

The Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy In 1951, Richard Asher used for the first time the term of “Munchausen syndrome” to describe a psychological disorder in which the patient fabricates or induces an illness to play the sick role. The choice of “Munchausen” was made after a German man, the Baron Von Munchausen who used to tell fake and exaggerated stories to everybody who would listen to him. About twenty years later, in 1977, Roy Meadow talked of another form of this disease : “Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy” (MSBP). This psychological disorder can be defined as following : “The intentional production or feigning signs and/or symptoms in another person who is under the individual’s care for the purpose of assuming the sick role by proxy”. The aim’s perpetrator is to be looked by others as a very devoted and brave person since he/she undergoes all these sufferings, along with “the need to be in a perverse relationship with a doctor or a hospital staff”. In more than 98 % of the cases, the perpetrator is a female and in about 95% of the cases, it’s the mother. The physician or the hospital staff become unknowing accomplices. This is possible because the perpetrator is an intelligent person who has, most of the time, medical knowledge and, as Marc Feldman, a psychiatrist who

MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME BY PROXY Public awareness of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP), has increased dramatically within the past few years due primarily, it seems, to the depiction of this syndrome on several popular television shows. In fact, MSBP has become a trendy diagnosis in cases where children have become ill without medical explanation and the doctor is unable to diagnose the cause. At that point, the parent is accused of intentionally making his or her child sick in order to supposedly obtain attention that is otherwise lacking in the parent's life. That brings the criminal justice system into play, with the parent being charged with serious criminal offenses. While there certainly have been some rare cases of individuals who appear to have been legitimately suffering from this disorder, there unfortunately have been many - too many- cases where a parent has been falsely accused of this crime. Only later, after the accused parent has lost custody of the child, been wrongfully been put in jail and had his or her life destroyed, was it discovered that the child had indeed been suffering from a legitimate medical condition after all, and that the parent was blameless. If you have been charged with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, you need representation from a skilled and experienced criminal lawyer who is familiar with MSBP. Accordingly, we invite you to contact attorney James Johnston and make an appointment to speak with him about your case.

Five quarts of blood speed through our lung capillaries every minute, ceaselessly, until we die. The meshwork of capillaries circle and envelope each of the lungs' 300 million air sacs, so that blood is never far from fresh air. All that separates lung blood from lung air is an extraordinary membrane of microscopic thinness and gargantuan proportion. Stretched out in its entirety the membrane's surface area would cover the surface of a tennis court. Through this diaphanous barrier gases transfer both ways. Fresh oxygen goes from the air sacs into the capillary blood, to be delivered to the rest of the body; unwanted carbon dioxide goes from the blood into the air sacs, and then exhaled. This vital transfer of gases oxygen in, carbon dioxide out is

You are here: Home Health A to Z Munchausen Syndrome Ford-Martin, Paula Anne Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric disorder that causes an individual to self-inflict injury or illness or to fabricate symptoms of physical or mental illness, in order to receive medical care or hospitalization. In a variation of the disorder, Munchausen by proxy (MSBP), an individual, typically a mother, intentionally causes or fabricates illness in a child or other person under her care. Description Munchausen syndrome takes its name from Baron Karl Friederich von Munchausen, an 18th century German military man known for his tall tales. The disorder first appeared in psychiatric literature in the early 1950s when it was used to describe patients who sought hospitalization by inventing symptoms and complicated medical histories, and/or inducing illness and injury in themselves. Categorized as a factitious disorder (a disorder in which the physical or psychological symptoms are under voluntary control), Munchausen's syndrome seems to be motivated by a need to assume the role of a patient. Unlike malingering, there does not seem to be any clear secondary gain (e.g., money) in Munchausen syndrome. Individuals with Munchausen by proxy syndrome use their child (or another dependent person) to fulfill their need to step into the patient role. The disorder most commonly victimizes children from birth to 8 years old. Parents with MSBP may only exaggerate or fabricate their child's symptoms, or they may deliberately induce symptoms through various methods, including poisoning, suffocation, starvation, or infecting the child's bloodstream.

Munchausen syndrome By Ann Reyes, Ph.D. Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric disorder in which a person consciously fakes the symptoms of a physical disorder for attention. The person may have many medical tests and surgical procedures. Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) is a parenting disorder. The parents, usually mothers, fake symptoms in their children. The child is then subjected to unnecessary tests or surgeries. What is going on in the body? A person with Munchausen syndrome fakes or pretends to have symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms are those of a specific illness. The individual fakes symptoms for psychological reasons rather than for financial gain or to get out of responsibilities. The person convincingly presents with intentional symptoms. For example, someone may inject germs into his or her own bloodstreams to cause illness. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? The signs and symptoms of Munchausen syndrome include: fabrication of an illness without any physical symptoms willingness to undergo numerous procedures, often painful, despite being fully aware there is no physical problem
