Abstract

This article discusses a presentation of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. It is believed this factitious disorder was precipitated and grew out of the context of a postpartum depression. To our knowledge, no such case has been reported in the past and implications for new exclusion criteria defining a fictitious disorder are raised. Furthermore, reintegration of the perpetrator back to family is discussed and suggestions are made for follow-up.
