Psychiatry In Medicine Topics [General] Psychiatric Referral Psychosomatic Medicine Munchausen Syndrome Munchausen Syndrome Repeated fabrication of physical illnessusually acute, dramatic, and convincingby a person who wanders from hospital to hospital for treatment. Munchausen patients may simulate many physical disorders (eg, MI, hematemesis, hemoptysis, acute abdominal conditions, FUO). A patient's abdominal wall may be a crisscross of scars, or a digit or a limb may have been amputated. Fevers are often due to self-inflicted abscesses; bacterial culture, usually of Escherichia coli, indicates the source of the infecting organism. Munchausen patients initially and sometimes interminably become the responsibility of medical or surgical clinics. Nevertheless, the disorder is primarily a psychiatric problem, is more complex than simple dishonest simulation of symptoms, and is associated with severe emotional difficulties. Patients may have prominent histrionic personality features but are usually intelligent and resourceful. They know how to simulate disease and are sophisticated regarding medical practices. They differ from malingerers because although their deceits and simulations are conscious, their motivations for forging illness and quest for attention are largely unconscious. Commonly, there is an early history of emotional and physical abuse. Patients appear to have problems with their identity, intense feelings, inadequate impulse control, a deficient sense of reality, brief psychotic episodes, and unstable interpersonal relationships. Their need to be taken care of conflicts with their inability to trust authority figures, whom they manipulate and continually provoke or test. Feelings of guilt and the associated need for punishment and expiation are obvious.

A Legend Lives On In the 1950s, Richard Asher, MD, a London physician, first coined the term Mun-chausen syndrome to describe patients who consistently produced false stories about themselves to receive needless medical investigations, operations, and treatments. Munchausen syndrome by proxy was first used in 1977 to describe a condition in which parents falsified illnesses or fabricated symptoms for their children. A Lost Childhood Reported cases of MSBP vary in complexity from simply fabricating symptoms, tampering with laboratory specimens, or altering health records, to using direct methods to induce symptoms.

Z Contents of this page: Definition Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a form of child abuse in which a parent induces real or apparent symptoms of a disease in a child. Causes, incidence, and risk factors This syndrome almost always involves a mother abusing her child by seeking unneeded medical attention for him or her. It is rare and poorly understood. The cause is unknown. The mother may fake symptoms of illness in her child by adding blood to the child's urine or stool, withholding food, falsifying fevers, surreptitiously giving emetics or cathartics to simulate vomiting or diarrhea , or using other maneuvers (such as infecting IV lines to make the child appear or become ill). These children are often hospitalized with groups of symptoms that don't quite fit classical disease findings. Frequently, the children are made to suffer through unneccessary tests, surgeries, or other uncomfortable procedures.

http://www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume2/j2_2_4.htm

Extractions: Evolution of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy as a Diagnosis Munchausen syndrome by proxy derives from adult Munchausen syndrome, which was first described in the literature in 1951 by Asher. In adult Munchausen syndrome, the patient fabricates and/or induces his own symptoms and presents himself for treatment. The description of Munchausen syndrome by proxy was first made in 1977, after British pediatrician Roy Meadow recognized that mothers of two children in his practice were engaging in dissimulations that put their children in the patient role, using the children as proxies. Subsequently, Meadow has collected and presented a number of cases, noting from the outset that is was often the doctors who harmed the child most through their unnecessary tests and treatments. Originally, Meadow observed the mother of the child as perpetrator and the child as a simple victim, stating in 1982 that only children up to age six were used as proxies because a child older than that would likely reveal the deception. After two more years of study, however, he reported in 1984 that an older child could act as a confederate of the mother, with the two involved in a sort of folie â deux , a pattern that might be perpetuated even after the child reached adulthood. Thus, Meadow began to describe the complex psychological nature of MSP.

Extractions: ABSTRACT: Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP) is a reportable form of child abuse in which a physical or mental disorder of the child is either fabricated or induced by a parent or other adult caretaker. While most often diagnosed in medical settings, a contemporary-type MSP has emerged in which the parent fabricates or induces the idea that the child has been abused by someone else, with the accusing parent/caretaker then gaining recognition from helpers as the protector of an abused child. The case illustrated in Bad Moon Rising: A True Story , is discussed. Professionals are reminded of the importance of thorough fact-finding and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing MSP. Persons coming in contact with child abuse cases, especially cases where sex abuse is alleged, should be aware of a clinical syndrome called Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP). Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a specialized form of child abuse in which a physical or mental disorder of the child is either fabricated or induced by a parent or other adult caretaker. A related psychiatric disorder, Munchausen syndrome, refers to the individual who either fabricates or induces a medical or psychological problem in themselves. The name Munchausen comes from a notorious 18th century teller of tall tales, Baron Von Munchausen. Whereas in Munchausen syndrome the person gains positive attention from medical personnel for their own factitious illness, in MSP the perpetrator gains attention as the concerned caretaker of a sick child, who is the proxy.

Extractions: Munchausen syndrome is a psychological disorder in which an individual will go to great lengths to convince others that they are seriously ill. This disorder was named after Baron Munchausen, a gentleman who was famous for his wildly exaggerated stories. Munchausen syndrome falls into the category of a factitious disorder, where the patient fakes an illness and is typically a pathological liar. Individuals have injected themselves with toxins, body wastes, and other lethal substances. They have purposely injured themselves, faked temperatures, and ingested medications to get the attention and sympathy of others and the medical field. They have endured unnecessary medical and surgical procedures to keep the attention on themselves. Some Kids Cry Out in Language of Illness Are children just as capable of feigning an illness to receive needless medical attention?

Extractions: Library: Abuse Child Neglect Definition - Child Neglect and Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Document Author : This is an overview of a booklet from the "Portable Guides to Investigating Child Abuse" series, published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Overview: Munchausen's Syndrome refers to a psychiatric disorder where patients pretend to have illnesses, and therefore are subjected to many medical tests and surgical procedures. From a practical standpoint, a parent fulfills this duty by doing certain things that promote growth, safety, and health (such as feeding the baby regularly, watching the toddler in the park, or taking the child to the doctor when sick) and protecting the child from harm (for instance, preventing a toddler from climbing a 10-foot ladder). For various reasons, parents cannot always promote growth, health, and safety to an optimal level, either because of their own limitations, some restraint on them by their environment, or other reasons. Also, not all harm is predictable or preventable. Therefore, parents must not be held to a standard of perfect care. When the parental care falls below a reasonable or prudent level, the child may be neglected. The following is a working definition of the parental duty, against which neglectful parental care may be measured: The child has the right to expect, and the parent has a duty to reasonably and prudently provide, food, clothing, shelter, supervision, medical care, nurturance, and teaching.

Extractions: 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.

Some authors believe it is more common than thought, others that it is misapplied when physicians misunderstand the symptoms they see in a child. Some authors go further, stating that the diagnosis is a way of oppressing women through false accusations. Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome: Misunderstood Child Abuse Author McGill, an investigative reporter, looks at the history of this syndrome as a diagnosis, and famous cases in the United States. McGill asks whether this syndrome has basis in fact, or is it the latest "hot" diagnosis in the media spotlight? Included in the author's discussion is what steps society can take to see that parents are not falsely accused of this form of child abuse.
