Neuropsychiatric aspects in Munchausen's syndrome.

, and . Gen Hosp Psychiatry, 19 (4): 281--285 (July 1997)

Abstract

The case of a 27-year-old woman with Munchausen's syndrome is presented, in whom a history of cerebral palsy and pathological findings from electroencephalogram, cranial computed tomography, and neuropsychological assessment were prominent. It is argued that neuropsychiatric aspects may play a role in the development of Munchausen's syndrome in a subgroup of patients.
