    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: Factitious disorder, factitious disorder by proxy Munchausen Syndrome is an attention-seeking personality disorder which is more common than statistics suggest. Munchausen Syndrome, named after a German soldier renowned for exaggerated tales, is a predominantly female disorder in which an emotionally immature person with narcissistic tendencies, low self-esteem and a fragile ego has an overwhelming need to draw attention to herself and to be the centre of attention. In Munchausen Syndrome, this is achieved by capitalising on, exploiting, exaggerating or feigning illness or injury or personal misfortune. The opportunities for being centre of attention can be increased if feigning victimhood through alleged victimisation, isolation, exclusion or persecution is added to the equation; the Munchausen person can then depict another person (often a family member) as a victimiser or persecutor and herself as the victim. Presenting herself as a false victim is also a Munchausen trait. In Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP), occasions for being centre of attention are created by deliberately causing illness, injury or harm to others to provide opportunities for rescue and care. Often the MSBP sufferer will work as a nurse, perhaps in a hospital ward for sick children (especially very young babies) or in a home for elderly persons, or with severely handicapped people, or as a care giver; the common thread is a victim whose is vulnerable, whose verbal skills or emotional state or mental condition prevents them from explaining what the MSBP person is doing to them and whose hold on life may already be precarious. Even if the victim survives, they cannot or will not be a witness. Because death amongst these groups occurs normally and is therefore not unusual or unexpected, her activities in causing death may escape notice for years.

What is Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy In 1794, at the age of 74, Munchausen's married Bernhardine Brun, then 17 years old. It is said that on their wedding night, the baron retired early, and his bride spent the night dancing with another. In 1795, Bernhardine gave birth to a son. Following the birth of this child, it was whispered that "the life of the Munchausen child will likely be short." The boy, named Polle, died at approximately 1 year of age under suspicious circumstances. Almost a century later, an unusual behavior pattern among young men gained recognition in the writings of Charcot. In 1877, he described adults, who through self-inflicted injuries or bogus medical documents, attempted to gain hospitalization and treatment. Charcot called this condition "mania operativa passiva."

    Extractions: Resources 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. 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.

A Legend Lives On In the 1950s, Richard Asher, MD, a London physician, first coined the term Munchausen 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.

    Extractions: Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Nina J. Karlin - Dartmouth Medical School - Class of 1996 Karl Friedrich Hieronymus Freihess von Munchausen was an 18th Century figure who gained fame for his tall tales revolving around his peripatetic adventures. Richard Asher (1951) coined the term "Munchausen Syndrome" to characterize patients who fabricate illness and subject themselves to unpleasant and potentially harmful medical procedures. Patients with this disorder travel great distances and recount dramatic, plausible but, nevertheless, false medical histories. The English pediatrician Meadow (1977) came up with "Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy" (MSBP) after discovering that several of his epileptic patients' mothers had fabricated the children's symptoms. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Described MSBP is not uncommon; however its prevalence has not been established. Rosenberg (1987) considered 117 cases in a review. Schreier and Libow (1993) postulated that this syndrome is more common than previously believed, and that many of the cases are not diagnosed. MSBP ranges from diseases that are completely imagined to diseases that are fully induced in the child. The means by which MSBP mothers most frequently fabricate disease are suffocation, induced seizures, bleeding, chronic poisoning with ipecac (leading to vomiting), chronic poisoning with phenolphthalein (leading to diarrhea), and excrement injection.

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.
